"Tonica is seriously the best person I could think of to help walk students and parents through the whole college planning process. Her passion for the students and truly helping to guide them in the right direction is one of her best qualities. My younger cousin is in the midst of figuring out her future and Tonica has given me so much advice and wisdom with how to help her navigate what is to come and what steps she should take. If you're unsure of what to do next you're in the right place!"

"I previously worked with Tonica and as a college counselor myself and also a parent; I can say that students are in good hands. She has amazing relationships with students andtand truly their best interest at heart. Essay writing is a special skill she has and with Covid-19 many schools going test optional, essay will be more important than ever. Who better to help than a former English teacher!"

"The first thing I noticed about Tonica was her honesty and professionalism, in addition to her down-to-earth demeanor. She is experienced and knowledgeable in the education and college planning field which is crucial in guiding parents and students in unfamiliar territory. Although I had gone through the process once before, choosing a college and going through the admissions procedure is tough and different for every student."

"Tonica has a lot of experience helping many students get into their dream schools. She does a great job with helping brainstorm topics for application essays and revising essays. She also taught me the strategy for choosing which schools to apply to based on a three tier system. Applying to college can be very hard, but with her help I am now on at The Ohio State University attending their College of Engineering."

"Tonica has been an amazing help throughout this college process. She helped me before I started planning for college, during the entire process, and even guided me through the transition into college. I strongly believe any problem a student runs into, Tonica will, without a doubt, be give great guidance. Without her, I don't know if I would be where I am today."

"I feel very confident in my college decision because of the help from Tonica. She not only guided me through the whole process of picking a college, but she also assisted in the financial aid aspect. She instilled in me to choose a college that I could reasonably afford and one that had the whole college experience that I was looking for. Thanks to Tonica I am fully confident that I made the best choice!"

"Tonica has been a mentor for my two high school children for the past four years! She has provided them with many resources while helping them choose their major and what college they are going to attend! She additionally helped educate my children on financial aid, grants, and scholarships during their college selection process. We couldn’t have done this without all her support!"

"My daughter recently contacted Cardinal College Planning regarding essay prep. The essay had some components that she was not at all familiar with. The help and guidance they provided was invaluable! Not only were the resources helpful, they proof-read her essay even helped her see why the changes needed to be made. As we continue in the college process we will be working hand in hand with this incredible organization!"
