Sheetal’s approach to college counselling is informed by her international background, her work as a journalist and her love for academia. A Stanford graduate with a master’s degree in Communication and Culture, she has worked as a journalist in Bombay, India, writing for a local newspaper and as a community television reporter in Toronto, Canada. Her interest in the role of media within the public sphere led her to pursue another master’s degree in Sociology and Equity Studies from the University of Toronto.

Sheetal enjoys and is skilled in mentoring young people to help them reach their potential. She has extensive experience in guiding students and their families through the admissions processes in the UK, Canada and the US. Her students have been accepted to prestigious programs in highly selective schools. She works with the students and their families to demystify the applications process, making it accessible in terms of understanding the system, finding the ‘right fit’ school for each student’s personality and career plans, and provides hand holding or tough words as needed. She engages the student to critically examine their relationship with education and the world around them, motivating them to ask difficult questions and to discover a real sense of who they are – their passions, their values and their goals.
