Helping students cross the application finish line and shine.

Hi, I’m Angelica — a college admissions coach, first-gen graduate, and former college admissions reader.

I am here to help your family stress less. Whether your student is just starting their college journey or knee-deep in essays and deadlines, I provide expert guidance, structure, and support to help them move forward with clarity and confidence.

I know how overwhelming this process can be — for students and parents. There’s pressure, uncertainty, and a lot of “Where do we even begin?” That’s why I founded Radiance College Consulting: to take the weight off your shoulders and walk alongside your family every step of the way. Together, we’ll turn pressure into progress, and make space for your student to truly shine.

Structured Support + Personalized Guidance = Radiant Results.

I work 1:1 with students to help them stay on track and craft authentic, compelling essays that reflect who they truly are beyond test scores and GPAs.

Together, we dig beneath the surface to uncover the student’s unique strengths, stories, and aspirations — their radiance — and bring that forward in their applications.

From brainstorming to final drafts, or customized support along the way, I’m here to make sure your student not only meets deadlines, but feels proud of what they’ve created.

How it Works

Step 1.

Contact + Consultation

Begin the process by sending me a message through my Contact Form. I will be in touch shortly to book a free 30-minute phone consultation.

Step 2.

Connection + Review

I truly value relationships. It is my priority to establish an open and trusting connection with your student before we get to work and understand their goals, dreams, and questions about the college application process.

Step 3.

Create + Complete

From making a college list, to brainstorming and revising final drafts, I am committed to helping your student create and complete an authentic and compelling essay they are proud of.
