Nita June, College Counseling guides young adults with expertise, wisdom, and heart on their higher educational adventures.
History
Established in 2015.
A Barnard College (Columbia University) Magna cum Laude alum, former high school teacher and private school admissions director and counselor, I step into this work with experience, wisdom, skill and passion.
My Mission is to support every student in reaching their highest potential - to support them in becoming confident in heart, conscientious in mind, caring in spirit, and successful and happy on their chosen vocational path.
I am passionate about teaching and supporting young adults to find their respective way in the world. As a teenager, I sought this kind of guidance and did not find it. My longing for a coach and mentor on my path to adulthood was the inspiration for the work I do today as an independent educational consultant.
In addition to tutoring and guidance work, I am a theater director, a runner, an outdoor enthusiast, a puppy mama, and true lover of all things creative.
Meet the Business Owner: Nita D.
As an independent educational consultant, I approach my work as a guide in a "choose your own adventure" novel, with the 'adventure' being the future and the 'novel' being life. I work with students from start to finish of the college admission's process, with the journey beginning by supporting each student to find his or her best fit schools and the journey ending in saying 'yes' to the adventure ahead. I am essentially a coach, mentor, "fairy godmother auntie" and teacher rolled into one. While I don't make dreams come true with a swish of my wand, I do help to make my students' dreams clear and the application process be one of straightforwardness and ease.
Originally from Boulder, CO, I then moved east to New York to attend Barnard College (the women's college of Columbia University) and then I moved on to London, followed by a leap west to San Francisco and Santa Monica, finally settling in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA.
I hold a BA Magna Cum Laude from Barnard College.
