Crystal Zell has over a decade of experience in college counseling. She has helped students from middle school to postgraduate studies successfully execute their plans for academic and personal development, and ultimately attain admissions into their desired level of higher education.
Her primary focus is to aid students in achieving acceptance into their dream universities. Each year, she has multiple acceptances for Top 25 National and Liberal Arts universities, including Ivy League and Ivy-level institutions, alongside numerous UC and CSU admits across a variety of academic levels and major interests.
Crystal believes that the right coaching can help any student achieve beyond their perceived limitations in school, extracurricular experiences, and life. Counseling is a holistic process that includes a personalized approach to identify and meet the needs of each student. Working together, counselors and families can empower students in high school and beyond by establishing a solid foundation for future success.
When she isn't counseling students, Crystal spends her free time keeping up with her daughter and three dogs, which includes lots of walks, softball games, and Girl Scout cookies (for the daughter, not the dogs). Her hobbies include reading, baking, crafting, and assisting people with startups or home businesses. With her background in hospitality management, she is also an avid foodie.
