Background

About Beth Payer

Building upon my professional work with college students and a desire to maximize student potential, I formed a vision for College & Company — an educational consulting practice where collaboration is key and a proactive process is informed by the student as an individual. I hold a BA in English from Skidmore College, a Master's in Higher Ed Administration from Syracuse University, and I have worked intensively with college students in my professional life. I have seen first-hand the successes and challenges that they experience. In 2012, when my concept for College & Company formed, I turned to the University of California Riverside's College Admissions Counseling certificate program to round out my education. I have been immersed in the ins and outs of today's college admissions landscape through my coursework, the highly-regarded IECA and NYSACAC Summer Institutes, and consistent reading and research. I am a student of colleges, every day. I enjoy students. I respect parents, and I get a thrill from bringing the college admissions process together through communication and smart planning. There's nothing more satisfying than finding the very best college match for a student, supporting them on their path to success.
