    *****
    “I founded APCC to provide guidance in navigating the increasingly complex process of applying to college. In doing so, I combined my desire to help others with my love of writing and editing. I also create supplemental programs for gifted students as well as elite athletes who must travel for competitions during the school year. My practice expanded when former clients (now college graduates) returned requesting help with graduate school applications and career guidance.”

My team and I work with a select group of clients. Please contact APCC to see if we can provide the right fit for you. ~ K.D
