Marina Glava
I have been advising high school students for ten years, first at one of the largest high schools in Round Rock, Texas, and then moving to a smaller private high school in Austin, where I managed a caseload of 400+ students. Additionally, I have privately advised students in Texas and around the country for the last four years. I have advised high flyers who went on to attend MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, UCLA, USC, Notre Dame, military academies, and many more. I have also counseled hundreds of students who went on to attend UT Austin, Texas A&M, Rice, and SMU, along with plenty of amazing in and out-of-state public and private schools. I find equal joy in working with all calibers of students, from the top ten to the students struggling to find their passions. I have worked with public, private, and home-schooled high school students. I will work hard to help each student find their best personal fit college or post-graduate program.
