Elizabeth Katz, Founder

 “I started Spark College Consulting, LLC because I am passionate about helping students have a successful college application process – beginning to end. I guide students to discover who they are and craft a college list that reflects that insight. I work with students as they write and edit their essays, and encourage students through the detailed steps of the application process itself.

Watching students take ownership of the College Application & Admissions Process is a joy. Every year, as the early acceptance notifications come in, I find myself increasingly invested in and nervous for the outcome. Each time a text comes in, “Early acceptance at Brown!” (as it did just now) it’s a thrill. It makes me so excited to work with next year’s students. Combine this with the stress-relief our service provides to the parents and THAT’S why I love what I do!” – Elizabeth Katz
