Review


Andi Vaida brings decades of professional writing and news production experience from Colombian national television outlets, including RTVC and Caracol, to her college counseling practice. Her background as a published writer and former college office director gives her unique expertise in helping students craft compelling narratives and authentic essays, while her bilingual training makes her particularly effective with multilingual and first-generation students.


Sofia M., New York City: "Andi's writing background was transformative for my daughter's essays. Her decades of storytelling experience helped my daughter find her authentic voice rather than sounding formulaic. As a bilingual family, we appreciated her multilingual counseling training—she understood how to help my daughter leverage her cultural background as a strength. Thanks to Andi's narrative expertise, she was accepted to several selective institutions."


Carlos and Maria L., Queens, New York: "Andi's experience as a former college office director meant she understood admissions from the inside. Her news production background brought a unique perspective to helping our son structure his personal narrative compellingly. Her supportive approach and college access advocacy made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the process. We're grateful for her highly personalized guidance."
