ABOUT JOYEE
Warm Greetings!
Hello, OC students and parents! My name's Joyee. (Pronounced “Joey,†like the baby kangaroo). I'm a college admissions expert and personal guide for students in high school pushing hard to achieve their goals – and making the biggest choices of their lives to date.
As a college counselor, test-prep guru, and educational cheerleader, I don't just dole out sagely wisdom and send students home to study; I sit with them, open the book, and talk them through the task, whatever it is.
I'm the expert who's in your corner, just a quick call or text away.
