Sarah Kadesh, M.Ed
College Consultant
Sarah began her career in college admissions at a large public research university, where she reviewed freshman, transfer, and honors college applications. During that time, she earned her Master’s degree in Higher Education, which deepened her understanding of the college admissions landscape and the many pathways students take to higher education.
After several admission cycles, she transitioned to the "other side of the desk" as the Director of College Counseling at a rigorous STEM-focused school in Scottsdale, Arizona. There, she had the privilege of guiding high-achieving students through the complex college application process, helping them find schools that matched both their academic strengths and personal goals.
Later, she and her husband move back home, where she joined an all-girls school as the Associate Director of College Counseling. This role allowed her to further refine her counseling approach, especially in supporting students to build confidence, articulate their stories, and navigate the admissions process.
Sarah is thrilled to share her experience working one-on-one with students. Providing personalized, thoughtful guidance that empowers each student to find their best-fit college and present their most authentic selves in the process.
