ADMISSIONS INSIGHT AND PLANNING
Hello
And welcome to College Fly. Here I bring admissions insight and planning to students and parents who are so often overwhelmed by the college admissions process. I’m passionate about supporting them and believe that when students have clarity about their skills, interests, social preferences, learning style and financial resources, identifying colleges in harmony with these criteria—and making decisions about them—is easier, less stressful and ultimately more satisfying.
My approach is holistic, methodical and purposeful. I work one-on-one with students and my focus is helping them present their best authentic selves. It’s a simple, yet comprehensive framework that allows for a better admissions experience and successful outcomes.

About Me
here in marin county
With more than 25 years as a writer, designer and project manager, I bring research, communications and organizational skills to college planning. I founded College Fly in 2014 after completing a College Admissions and Career Planning certificate at UC Berkeley. Prior to my four years as a senior planner at the College Planning Center, I completed work as a reader for the San Francisco Education Fund (Maisin Scholars) and as a mentor for Marin’s leading college success non-profit 10,000 Degrees. In 1990, I co-founded Artmarks, a corporate graphic design consultancy with my husband, John Seminerio. We’ve lived in Marin County ever since. Our son, Nick, is a graduate of The George Washington University.
