About Carol …

Carol Safran holds a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and an undergraduate degree from Barnard College, Columbia University.  She has taught in public high schools and has other expertise that uniquely qualifies her to assist in the college application process.

She is the published author of a collection of true stories of personal growth and transformation.  And, she helps students draw upon their “stories” as they compose college essays.  She knows what makes an application stand out for its quality.

His work has been produced in London. Carol’s interests include writing, reading, swimming and yoga.
