As a PR and corporate communications expert, Marivi spent her days helping companies identify what made them special, crafting key messages, and telling the stories most likely to persuade stakeholders and advance business goals. Her evenings and weekends, however, were spent using these same skills to guide families and students through the application process for colleges, independent schools, boarding schools, and summer programs. Over time it became clear that she found more joy and meaning in admissions work and Wise Admissions was born.
​
The students she has worked with have been admitted to a wide range of institutions, from top US boarding schools and Bay Area independent schools, to world-renowned research universities and some of the country's best liberal arts colleges.
Marivi is a graduate of Brown University and a founding member of the College Counseling Collective, a private network of independent educational consultants and college counselors who were part of the UC Berkeley certificate program in college counseling.
