Optimum Growth Coaching: College Admissions Coaching (and What’s New)
If you searched for Optimum Growth Coaching, you’re in the right place.
I’m Candice Suarez, a former school counselor and coach who has spent more than 20 years helping people figure out what comes next. My work has grown into two paths, so here’s where to find what you need.
Optimum Growth Coaching: College Admissions Coaching
Optimum Growth Coaching is, and will continue to be, the home of my college admissions coaching. I work with high school students (and their parents) to take the guesswork, and a lot of the stress, out of the college process.
Together, we:
Explore strengths, interests, and possible career paths with the YouScience Aptitude and Career Assessment
Build a college list that truly fits
Discuss application strategy
Work through the application process step by step, including a place to keep it all organized
Brainstorm and manage essay requirements
Support with the Common App
Discuss financial considerations and weigh options
As a former school counselor, I know the college process can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. My job is to make it feel doable, and maybe even exciting.
Looking for Life Drafting and Transition Coaching? Meet Pencil & Purpose
Everything else I do now lives under Pencil & Purpose: life transition coaching, my membership, the Draft Your Year retreat, and this blog. It’s all built on Life Drafting, my belief that you can plan in pencil, stay open to revision, and show up as the person your next chapter needs.
If you’re navigating a career change, an empty nest, a move, or one of those quieter “is this it?” seasons, that’s where you’ll find me.
Why Two Names?
Two different audiences, same coach. Families looking for college help deserve a clear path, and so do adults in the middle of a life transition. Same values, same heart. Just two front doors.
