Q&A with Corinne
Why are you passionate about coaching?
I love guiding my clients along their journeys of self-reflection and discovery and exploring their interests, talents, passions, and goals together. By unlocking a deeper understanding of what is truly important to them and where they will flourish, I’m able to empower my clients with clarity and confidence as they navigate the admissions process.
What’s your top piece of advice for admissions candidates?
Be authentic. The candidates that stand out from a competitive pool are ones that come across as genuinely introspective and thoughtful. Invest time upfront for some serious self-assessment – dig deep and don’t be afraid to be honest, maybe even vulnerable. Once you’ve identified the qualities, experiences, and aspirations that make you uniquely you, connect the dots for the admissions committee and present a cohesive narrative that articulates why they make you a strong fit for the school.
