How do you work together?

The Camino Team—Araceli Jonsson, Tricia Horne and Kim Pyle—is committed to guiding clients to college admissions success by prioritizing 1)student mental health, 2) finding the right mix of colleges, majors and financial aid to ensure a good match, 3) the development of organizational growth and grit. The process is uniquely tailored to each client’s needs. The Camino folder becomes a shared space where we keep track of a student’s process so that all team members can keep our clients moving forward.

Using Camino’s proven process, we strengthen our clients’ efforts to grow their leadership, access their wisdom to choose the right major, chase enriching experiences, and build essays and personal statements which will convey who they are, what they care about, and how they can contribute to educational settings.

All Camino-certified Independent Consultants on our team have completed IECA Summer Training institute, maintain Associate Memberships in IECA, and abide by IECA’s Principles of Good Practice:

In our role as college admissions counselors, we research trends and strategies which will streamline the college search for our clients. But the real magic happens when students dig deep, use their newfound courage and discipline, and turn their dreams into reality.
