We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Kim Heffernan and the Moxie team—and not merely because our daughter ended up with fantastic results.
Kim has a great balance of the personal and the professional. She built rapport quickly and easily with both parents and student, and was never formulaic or dogmatic about how the process should or would go. Rather, she was kind and candid, helping our daughter to select classes, think about extracurricular priorities, and navigate the many tough choices inherent in the application process. Kim shared insight and opinions at every turn, but never sought to “make decisions” for anyone else. She answered questions promptly and thoroughly. When we hit the inevitable speedbumps, she empathized genuinely and helpfully. All the while, however, she remained focused on the nuts and bolts of the process—the deadlines and “to do” list, etc.—and her experience, knowledge, and organization were reassuring for our “Type A” kid and her “pulled in many directions” parents.
We have no doubt that the college review and application process would have been much more stressful for our daughter and for us, and that we would have been “flying blind” in many areas we could not have anticipated in advance, without Kim’s experience, expertise, and steady presence. We recommend her emphatically and without reservation.
