Welcome! My name is Aurora, and I'm an educational strategist who knows that every student and their learning profile is unique.

 

Beginning with the end in mind, I help students figure out who they want to be and what they want to do in the world, navigate “best fit” college options, and maneuver the ever-changing career landscape.

​

Whether you are a citizen scholar aiming for a 3% admission school, a first-gen high school grad trying to pay for college, or a student seeking admission to a university with learning accommodations and structured executive functioning support, Aurora College Consulting will help guide you every step of the way.

​

"I was admitted into Occidental and the University of Washington, UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, and UCI! I also won the H3SP Scholarship at Howard, which will cover my undergraduate degree and my PhD in social sciences. Finally, I won the Sachs Foundation Scholarship! Thank you so much for your unwavering support!"
