Hi, I'm Seleena!

I know how it feels to be lost in the college admissions process. When I think about how much I longed for mentorship, coaching, guidance, and accountability while I was beginning my college admissions process, I realize how powerful providing such opportunities for students can be. After all, this process culminates in one of the biggest financial and life choices a young person faces. It does not have to be a struggle or a random decision.

 

With over twenty years as an educator, college professor, and–now–an Associate Certified Life Coach, college planner, and educational consultant, I have been privileged to help hundreds of students successfully prepare and submit successful applications for college and graduate school. As a former professional stage performer, I specialize in working with artists and creatives–especially performing artists–preparing portfolios. With a decade of experience in international education, I thrive working with international students from Japan and China who are interested in studying in the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe. I connect with Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and other Indigenous students pursuing higher education.

Originally from the New York City area, I am proud to be a global citizen bridging and moving among different cultures. I am proud to have inherited such rich cultural knowledge and wisdom from the places I've called home. Although I am now bicoastal–based in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Montclair, NJ, I work with students anywhere in the world.

What People Say

Maria Failano

When it comes to college prep and advising, Seleena helped make it happen. She helped me and my daughter tremendously by coaching her throughout the process. 

With Seleena's valuable knowledge, experience, and expertise, she guided her step by step from the moment we started to when she finally decided which college to accept.

Overall, we wouldn't have successfully succeeded if it wasn't for her. Seleena's service is definitely worth it!

Seleena Harkness-Lee in a word is awesome!

As parents overwhelmed with the daunting college process, she was calming, reassuring, totally knowledgeable, encouraging, and opened our minds and our child's to all possibilities, while at the same time giving us realistic expectations.

With our child she exuded enthusiasm, warmth, energy, interest, and always went the extra mile for him and then some!

She organized our child's thoughts and guided him through the application process and essay writing by giving him steps he could accomplish one at a time without feeling totally overloaded.

English is not my first language. She helped refine my essays as well as fixing my grammatical errors.

She game me confidence and supported when I was in a tough and rough situations trying to overcome tasks, tests and applications for entering college. 

She was always there to give me suggestions of how to choose the criteria and to understand the importance of choosing the right environment to achieve my ultimate path.

 

Seleena has helped me not only choose the right school of my dreams, but also how to handle college life by way of her tremendous treasures of experience. Could not have come this far without her.

Seleena Harkness-Lee helped me with college prep and college counseling. Seleena really taught me the importance of picking the right college instead of a famous one.

Me and my family never done any research into standardized tests, so Seleena helped me improve my SAT and ACT scores. She has done a remarkable job at helping me with college applications by checking and revising my essays so that I do not make mistakes and helped me make my points clear.

... Now I get to go to a college of my choice and I know I will enjoy the next four years thanks to Seleena.
