Natalie Rodriguez-Garcia

Mrs. Garcia is an awesome counselor! She was definitely one of the main people that I turned to for guidance and support. Her help was always sincere and her approach was encouraging. They say that high school is an experience that one never forgets because of the friends you make and the experiences you live, but in all honesty, high school is an experience that I will never forget mainly because of the teachers and the staff. The positive impact that Mrs. Garcia had on me was to never give up and to always speak up. Mrs. Garcia is one of the few people from high school that I still keep in contact with, her input and guidance is still appreciated, even eight years after graduation.

Thank you for taking the time to help me fill out college applications. You have been such a supportive and wonderful counselor, and I can’t thank you enough.

Katy Watts

Ms. Watts is one of the most patient and nicest college counselors I’ve ever met. Her office was literally my second home back then. I was so glad that she was always there to listen to my concerns and complaints. While my parents were off having high expectations of me on the other side of the globe, she was here slowly guiding me and most importantly encouraging me throughout.

Sharon Cravanas is a perfect blend of counselor, advisor, and mentor. Her engagement around the college process is thorough and comprehensive. It results in expanding the horizons of the young people with whom she works, while also coaching the parents on the sometimes difficult transition from manager to mentor.

SMrs. Mack is always receptive and willing to provide information or assistance to the best of her ability. A prompt, organized, and diligent counselor, she has a wealth of experience in her occupation and a heart of gold. You would be blessed to have a counselor like Mrs. Mack!

Sherryl Godfrey

My twins feel comfortable with reaching out to Ms. Godfrey for help due to the accessibility, attention and care she provides her students. Every time I have walked through the office I have seen children waiting outside counselor offices for help and advice.

José N. Ireta

Mr. Ireta was always willing to entertain my crazy ideas and thought outside of the box to make things work for me. Because of him, I had the opportunity to do all that I wanted to do in high school. His willingness to go above and beyond really means the world to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better counselor. My academic advisor at USC has big shoes to fill!

Diane Wilcox

Diane has been a tremendous benefit to our family for the college application process. Diane is someone my son respects. She has a way of gently telling him when something is not right or needs additional work. He will listen to her without fighting or arguing as he tends to do with us.

Stephanie Sachs

I couldn’t have applied for Quest Bridge, the CSS Profile, Financial aid, the Common App along the many other college applications without the help of Mrs. Sachs. I could come into her office all stressed out and I would leave with a sense of accomplishment. She just knew how to put me at ease.

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Napora as my counselor during the majority of my time at Newbury Park High School. Not only is he kind and courteous, but he is also extremely intelligent. I don’t think I ever had a question that he could not answer.

Dr. Monica Randall

How many great things can I say about Dr. Randall before someone thinks that I’ve been paid to say them?!?! I worked with Dr. Randall for four years as her Executive Assistant, at a university in Baltimore. She was always fully aware and way out in front of any impending issues that could affect our ability to serve our students.

Dr. Nicole Jackson

We are really fortunate to have an expert from UCEazy as our advisor! Booking online for expert’s time was super easy, and UCEazy kept it unbelievably affordable!
