Why IGY
Most clients pick a college. We help yours pick a future.
Admissions advice tells a client where to apply. Career consulting starts one step earlier — with who your client is, what lights them up, and where that can lead. Every decision after that, from majors to internships to essays, ladders up to a real plan instead of a guess. That's the difference families feel by the end of the first month.
What We Do
A complete path, one guide.
02
College & Major Strategy
School and major choices mapped to where your client actually wants to go.
03
Applications & Essays
Standout applications and essays that sound like your client, not a template.

Real-world experience that builds a résumé and tests the path.
05
Interview & Networking
The skills to walk into any room — admissions or professional — prepared.

Ongoing Mentorship
A steady guide through every deadline, decision, and doubt along the way.

Meet Your Consultant
Guidance that's personal, because it is.
IGY was founded by Gina on a simple belief: every client deserves a guide who knows them by name, not a number in a queue. With over a decade helping clients navigate college, career, and project decisions, Gina works directly with each client — no handoffs, no junior associates — so your client gets senior-level attention from the first call to the completion of the project.
In Their Words
For the first time, my daughter has a plan she's actually excited about. Worth every penny.
I went from no idea what I wanted to a list of schools that fit me perfectly.
Gina treated my son like the only client that mattered. That's rare.
Before You Reach Out
Questions families ask first.
When should we start?
Earlier is better, but we add real value at any stage.
How is this different from our school counselor?
School counselors juggle hundreds of students. We work with a small number of clients and give each one dedicated, one-on-one strategy.
Do you work with clients remotely?
Yes — we partner with clients across Southern California and online nationwide.
What does it cost?
Every plan is tailored to the client's stage and goals. Reach out and we'll walk you through options on a free consultation.
