About Us
Meet the Team
The folks at BB College Prep have worked in admissions or education in different capacities for over a decade. We do this work because we enjoy what we do and we believe in supporting students in their journey to finding a great college fit. We also try to make it fun along the way.

President & College AdvisorI went to college (ahem) a long time ago. But even when I was applying, it was a confounding process. I didn't know where to begin, how to find a college that fit me, or what to do once I had a list of schools. I ended up choosing schools based on how pretty their posters were in my high school college and career office, which is a strategy I do not recommend. I ended up leaving my home in California and headed to Miami University of Ohio the summer after I graduated high school. And I loved it there. While I would love to have a job just sending students to Miami, the best college on Earth, I know that there are thousands of colleges out there with amazing programs and communities and I want each student to experience their version of Miami (and not just use posters to find it).
From tackling grammar issues in essays to putting together a college list you really love, my job is to guide you through this admissions process in a way that doesn't make you crazy. Every spring, when my seniors are accepted into colleges, and they text me with excited emojis, my heart fills. It will sound super cheesy, but this is a dream job.I have been working in this space for over 12 years and have worked with over 400 students from all over the United States. Students who are engaged in this process and take ownership over it are the most successful in this program.
I work with students as early as 8th grade and tend to fill my class by the time we hit junior year, so starting early is usually a good plan. I want this process to be fun but also stress-free.
Contact me today for an initial consultation, and find out more about how we can work together.When I am not brainstorming essays, I am hanging out with my poorly behaved corgis or my very opinionated horse.
And if you want horse or dog advice, we can talk about that too.

EditorI've been editing college essays since 2018 and working with Breanne since 2021, but I've been supporting the Oxford comma since long before I entered any professional setting. My absolute favorite part of this job is helping students find and tell their stories in a way that truly shows who they are. When I'm not in the classroom (as a second grade teacher) or editing, I enjoy music, live theatre, exercising, and drawing. I'm super passionate about mental health awareness and advocacy work.
Our mission and purpose.
At BB College Prep, we believe that the journey to finding the perfect college fit should be both fulfilling and enjoyable. Our mission is to guide and support students through this exciting chapter of their lives with a blend of expertise, humor, and personalized attention.
We are dedicated to alleviating the stress often associated with the college application process by providing comprehensive guidance tailored to each student's aspirations and preferences. By fostering a supportive and positive environment, we empower students to take ownership of their journey, embracing the opportunity to discover their passions and potential.
We like to keep it light over here and we want to help students with this process while keeping a good sense of humor. We also really like corgis so you will see them around (a lot).
