  As co-founder of a higher-education counseling company, I successfully advised more than 200 students and families from different countries and educational systems on application strategies for Anglophone universities abroad. For each family, I conducted an in-depth evaluation of the student’s profile, offered career guidance, worked with their teachers on developing and translating targeted letters of recommendation, guided them in writing their personal statements, and accompanied them all the way through the admissions process. My experience and close collaboration with the families resulted in more than 95% of students being admitted to their first-choice universities. To further develop the business, I hired, trained and mentored a team of two employees, performed day-to-day business tasks such as accounting and communications, and hosted information workshops at French schools and networked with different organizations across the city.
