Jessica has a Bachelor's degree from Princeton University and a Master's degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Jessica is passionate about ensuring all students reach their full potential by enrolling at their best match school. There is no better feeling than guiding students through the application process so that they, in the end, can find the perfect match. 

As a coach, Jessica's greatest strength is walking students through the journey of clarifying what they want out of their college experience from an academic, social, and experiential standpoint.

Jessica excels at helping students identify their strengths so that they can ultimately bring that out in their resumes and college essays. 

Jessica's goal is to provide structure to a process that, at times, can seem overwhelming and daunting. She prides herself on her ability to provide a space for Quad applicants to be reflective and thoughtful so that they can stand by their college choices and approach the process confidently. 

Students Jessica has recently coached have gotten accepted into several top universities, including USC, UPenn, Columbia University, and Princeton University.

When she's not coaching, Jessica likes to listen to podcasts, go on walking trails, and spend quality time with her family.

Jessica's Pro Tip?

It's important to build your application profile in a way that, at minimum, one person on the admissions team will be willing to vouch for you during deliberations. You must do this by sharing a coherent story and accounting for any gaps in your profile. If you get at least one person to advocate for you in the admissions space, you at least will be in consideration.

Susan has a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Before joining Quad Education, her career has included extensive experience in both the for- and non-profit sectors and college admissions, throughout which she has been passionate about mentoring young people on both their educational and early career journeys.

‍

Susan spent the early days of her career working in investment banking with Morgan Stanley in New York and LA and private equity on several turnaround efforts. After business school, she worked in strategy consulting with the Boston Consulting Group and as an independent advisor to various organizations facing unique challenges – from businesses in start-up, high-growth, or change management situations to non-profits expanding their reach, impact, and efficacy.

‍

She spent several years leading private communities of C-suite executives from across the globe as a director at World 50, an organization that builds private, intimate peer forums for the leaders of the world’s largest companies with the sole purpose of helping them to share ideas and experiences that advance their efforts and organizations. In that capacity, she had the privilege of leading collaboration, conversation, and curated counsel on some of the topics most crucial to global leaders. It greatly informed her sense of what current students need to continue their journey toward impactful global citizenship.

‍

Subsequently, Susan turned her experience back to the non-profit sector as the National Director of Employer Partnerships for the Hire Opportunity Coalition, a role in which she supports major U.S. companies in the development of their capacity to hire and retain opportunity youth (young people ages 16-24 who are disconnected from school or work).

‍

Fostering growth, success, and leadership in individuals has always been a passion of Susan’s. For many years, she has advised students on their college and graduate school applications, resumes, and job search efforts. On a personal level, Susan is now based in Atlanta, GA, and is the proud mom of two children, one a recent graduate and one a rising college junior. She spends her free time hiking, writing, traveling, volunteering, enjoying the arts, and collecting new memories with family and friends.
