Before joining College Coach, Mollie O’Connor worked at Fordham University, her alma mater, as an assistant director of admission. There she worked closely with students and their families to educate them on the university and help them make informed decisions about one of the biggest and most exciting decisions of their lives—where to attend college! After leaving college admissions to explore a career in marketing and sales, Mollie found that she missed the vibrancy of working with this demographic. As director of client services with College Coach, she loves getting to know about each student’s unique goals and experiences and matching them with a College Coach admissions expert who can best guide them through the college search and application process. The best reward for Mollie is when a once stressed and worried parent ends a phone call feeling excited by possibility and relieved that College Coach is here to help!
