Your Speakers:

Joe Korfmacher For the last nine years, Joe has been advising families through the college process—whether it was via his leadership at Xavier High School in New York as the director of the college counseling program; his tenure as a guidance and college counselor at St. Peter’s Prep; or through his own private college counseling firm, JDK College Consulting. And Joe truly cares about giving his students a solid path to succeed: at Xavier, he was instrumental in rebuilding the college group guidance structure and curriculum and creating an intensive application summer program for rising seniors.

Brenna Heintz has been immersed in college admissions since 2011. She first landed in admissions at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education, then to MIT’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions where she was a senior admission counselor, and finally to Swarthmore College where she recently finished a run as their Associate Dean of Admissions and Director of Recruitment. She joined Collegewise as a College Counselor last summer.

Lizzie Leonard served as an Assistant Director of Admissions at Northeastern University for five application cycles. She then had a stint in the independent school world as Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Cambridge Friends School before joining Collegewise as a counselor. Lizzie aims to help families demystify the college admission process and make it as joy-filled as possible along the way.
