Kira Fay has done an extraordinary job of not only helping me with my college applications, but also becoming a finalist in the Goleta Teen of the Year competition. It all started freshman year when I decided to join Youth for Direct Relief, which she was in charge of. From the minute I met her, I could see how organized, dedicated, and excited she was to help others, and for the past four years has helped me countless times in my preparation of college and scholarship essays. It was not until I met Kira that I was able to understand how important her vast knowledge of the college application process was. Kira was always quick and smart to respond by text or email when I had any questions, which made the process very easy. She was always there to answer any questions I had regarding the college process, and has been an essential figure in my successful high school performance. Everybody respects her, and finds her to be such a gem. Kira is a brilliant person, who is kind, dedicated, and full of energy. Kira, I want to thank you again for helping me with all that I have accomplished.

Having Kira’s help and guidance throughout the college application process was truly invaluable. Kira is thoughtful and pays attention to every detail. She eased the process and helped me stay on track and organized. She was able to offer meaningful extracurricular and resume advice long before the applications even started. I always felt her support, commitment, and individualized attention in every aspect of my applications. Thank you again for everything!

Kira is an outstanding strategist and coach. She develops an insightful understanding of her students. She made specific helpful recommendations for our daughter, including courses offfered at the local city college and summer internships, both of which inspired our daughter in choosing a direction for her career and in building confidence in that path. Kira understands teenagers and was able to influence and guide our daughter through the complicated and detailed college application process in a manner that made our lives stress-free. We recommend Kira enthusiastically and without hesitation.

Julia Guglielmo

Hello! My name is Julia Guglielmo, and I am currently attending the University of Southern California! As a first-generation student, I was not only intimidated by the college application process, but unsure how to successfully represent my character and accomplishments. With Kira’s guidance, I learned how to write intriguing college essays as well as demonstrate how my extracurricular interests relate to my career goals. My application was integral in my award of the Chancellor’s Scholarship at UC Berkeley. Kira’s compassion and organizational skills eased the process. Kira has been an influential figure for me throughout the college process because she never stopped believing in my dreams. I would not have been able to achieve my goals without Kira’s continuous support and comprehensive knowledge about the college process. Thank you for everything!

Kira has a passion for youth and more importantly for the success of our youth. Her enthusiasm and interest in our daughter’s achievements made her the perfect person to help compile a strong resume and “list of activities” for the Common Application. Her warm and caring personality made it easy for our daughter to build a trusting relationship with her and her vast knowledge of the college application process greatly helped to set our mind at ease. Our daughter is now a senior at UC Berkeley and graduating in May.

Kira was organized, effective, and kind as she guided me throughout the long college application journey. Her efforts encouraged me to broaden my perspectives, ultimately enabling me to end up at the school I was meant to attend. I think one of her greatest skills is helping student's develop their personal voice while weaving a thoughtful "story" throughout their application.

I’ve known Kira Fay and her family for twenty years. She has helped to guide my three children through the college application process. Her attention to detail is unsurpassed and she has an uncanny way of organizing college essays. There was a great amount of thought and review that went into every application. Kira is a natural at the college application process and takes the painfulness away. She has been our best resource! She has always been an exceptional mother and a loyal friend and this helps to make her an outstanding college consultant.

Kira was my guardian angel during the college process! Not only was she organized, but she thoughtfully gave her unique input to each and everyone of her clients. I was overwhelmed and applied to many schools. With Kira’s help and guidance, I am now at Southern Methodist University, and happier than I could have imagined. Kira assisted me with organization, lists, due dates, and incredible essay support. I truly could have not done it without her!
