My name is Tara Niemi, and I am so happy you’re here!

I founded Plan College With Me in 2021 to help guide students and their families through the college planning process. With over 15 years of experience in college admissions, application strategies, and educational advising, I bring expertise and a personalized approach to every student. My mission is to empower students, support families, and foster a collaborative environment for students to achieve their academic and professional goals. I am confident that with my organizational skills and knowledge of the field, I can help make this experience stress-free and straightforward for your family. 

I am an Independent Educational Consultant and a Professional member of IECA. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Rutgers University and a Master’s in Educational Counseling from The College of New Jersey. I am based in New Jersey and work with students locally and nationwide.

If you are looking for guidance with the college application process, essay assistance, or academic advising, I would be happy to help work within your timeline to ensure your child is successful and happy. 

I am excited for the opportunity to work with your family!
