Pam White, a nationally certified counselor, has experienced the college process from both sides of the admissions desk.  She recently retired as a guidance counselor at New Canaan High School.  Previously, she worked in undergraduate admissions at Fairfield University. 

She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and two master’s degrees—in Communication and School Counseling—from Fairfield University.  She is a member of NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling), NEACAC (New England Association for College Admission Counseling), HECA (Higher Education Consultants Association) and IECA (Independent Educational Consultants Association). The mother of two college graduates, she has also experienced the parent’s role in admissions first-hand.  

Now, as an independent college counselor, she works closely with students and their families, guiding them throughout the college process.  To stay current on trends and unique features at the various institutions she recommends, she continually visits and re-visits campuses.  Her goal is to enable every student to have a positive admissions experience that leads to self-discovery and personal growth.
