Schools & organizations

Need a parent education session?

I also work with schools, preschools, community groups, and parent organizations that want to help families understand Austin's PK-12 school options.

These are custom engagements, usually built around an interactive parent session, Q&A, or school-selection workshop.

Can the Strategy Call fee be applied to a larger package?

Yes. If you decide the School Match Report is the right next step, your Strategy Call fee can be applied toward that package.

What is the difference between the Strategy Call and the School Match Report?

The Strategy Call is a focused conversation. The School Match Report includes offline synthesis and a custom written shortlist of schools with rationale, fit notes, and pros and cons.

Which package should I choose if I am not sure where to start?

Start with the Strategy Call. It is designed to help you understand the landscape, ask specific questions, and decide whether you need a custom report or full admissions support.

Do you help with public, charter, magnet, and private schools?

Yes. My work is not limited to private schools. I help families understand Austin public, charter, magnet, transfer, and private school options so they can choose the best fit for their child.

Can you help if we are moving to Austin?

Yes. I work with relocating families who need to understand Austin neighborhoods, school options, admissions timelines, and how school fit should factor into a move.
