    I've had the pleasure of working with Christina Dalton for about two years as a co-advisor, and firsthand observed her care and compassion that she provides to her students. From start to finish, she custom tailors a college admissions strategy that incorporates the student's academic and professional interests in mind with an intentional balance to maximize student outcomes.

    Thanks to Christina’s guidance, I was prepared for all college application requirements and steps far before any due dates arrived. Christina was very supportive of my unconventional college pursuits from day one. If I had to go through the application process all over again, I would choose Christina as an advisor!
