I help students and their families achieve balance and confidence throughout the college admission process as they discover and apply to colleges that best reflect their personal, academic and financial needs and goals.
About Me
Megan Freitas, MA, Stanford University
Hello and welcome!
I am a dedicated higher education professional with years of experience in college advising.
I graduated with distinction from the University of California, San Diego (BA, Communication) and Stanford University (MA, Education).
I began my career advising MBA students at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. I then spent six years working with undergraduate students as an Academic Counselor at the University of California, San Diego's Eleanor Roosevelt College. At UCSD, I rose to the position of Assistant Dean of Academic Advising, working with students from freshman orientation up until their graduation. I advised students on such issues as academic success, course selection, major choice, study abroad, career options, and more.
I achieved a certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from the University of California, Irvine's Division of Continuing Education.
Recently, I was an external reader of freshman applications for the University of California, Irvine. I also volunteered weekly as a College Counselor for disadvantaged students at Casa de Amistad in North San Diego County for four years.
I am an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and the Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC).
I find so much joy in helping students find the right fit colleges to meet their needs. I look forward to working with you!
