I'm an independent college access consultant dedicated to guiding students and families through the complex admissions process. My career combines a passion for educational equity with strategic guidance and storytelling. I help students highlight their strengths, take ownership of their journey, and approach college applications with clarity and confidence.
Hi, I’m Kenny Reyes
Why This Work Matters to me
As a proud first-generation graduate, I understand the life-changing power of education. My commitment to college access is fueled by my mother's journey from the Puerto Rican countryside to the mainland, a sacrifice she made to secure a better education and future for her children. This work is my way of honoring her and ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed.
Why This Work Matters to Students
My goal is to meet students where they are, empower them with ownership, and help them move forward with clarity. I bring a unique blend of experiences—from my time at Dartmouth and Wharton to my career as a Hollywood storyteller and Director of College Placement—to help each student craft a compelling narrative that captivates colleges and opens doors.
I empower students and reassure parents by transforming the high school and college admissions process from a source of stress into a journey of clarity and confidence. I meet students where they are, helping them discover their strengths and take ownership of their journey.
My Mission
My Three Pillars
Beyond grades and test scores, I believe a student's story is their most powerful asset. I help students uncover and build a cohesive narrative from their academic, extracurricular, community, and personal experiences, allowing them to stand out and captivate colleges.
Personal Storytelling
Success in high school and beyond starts with strong habits. I provide personalized, one-on-one guidance to help students build crucial executive functioning skills—like organization, time management, and self-advocacy—to reduce stress and feel confident as they navigate high school and the college process.
Foundational Skills
The college access journey is a puzzle, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. I provide flexible, expert support on all components, from course selection and foundational skill-building to crafting a balanced college list and submitting a flawless application.
Strategic Guidance
