About Lauren Melando with My Big Decisions
My Background
I have been working with students and families for 23 years as a School Counselor in the public schools, helping them make the big decisions about college. I am here to share my knowledge of college admissions and financial aid, and coach you through the process and decisions that will affect your future. It is never too early to start planning!
My Philosophy
I believe that everyone has the potential to have a fulfilling and meaningful career. By identifying strengths and passions and working towards small goals with my clients, they are able to better identify what they want and how to make it happen.
My Services
I offer a wide range of services including one-on-one coaching, course selection support, college visit planning, testing choice, essay review, FAFSA support, college admissions support, resume review, interview coaching, scholarship assistance, and volunteer connections. These services are designed to help clients overcome obstacles, improve their portfolio, and achieve their goals.
Continuous Learning
Being a life-long learner is something that I believe we should all strive to be. I challenge myself to learn one new thing a day. I am a member of several professional groups which enable me to continue learning the most up to date information in College Admissions. I visit many new colleges each year, so that I may provide the best information on specific campuses and programs.
I am a proud member of the IECA:
Independent Educational Consultants Association.
