Meet Liz
I'm Liz Hartman, a college and career success coach who helps students navigate the academic, career, and social challenges of college life. My specialty is helping students not only achieve their goals, but truly enjoy the journey along the way (or at least most of it!). I also specialize in law school and medical school admissions consulting.
My Background
I graduated summa cum laude from Bryn Mawr College with an AB in Political Science and earned a Master in Public Policy from Harvard University. My professional background includes:
Cornell University: Five years as Assistant Director of Engaged Learning and Entrepreneurial Exploration, advising hundreds of students on career development, academic success, and law school and medical school preparation and admissions.
Entrepreneurship: Co-founding a leading equine marketing startup, which was acquired by Internet Brands.
Non-profit leadership: Managing mentoring, literacy, and public health programs.
Community work: Leading community-driven initiatives, including non-profit board service and school fundraising.
I love bringing this unique blend of real-world and higher-education experience straight to my coaching clients.
How I Help
Students’ needs change throughout their college experience. I work with them to address their specific challenges, including transitioning to college, choosing a major, navigating academic difficulties, managing doubt or anxiety, and exploring careers. I also offer admissions consulting for students applying to law school or medical school.

Coaching clients meet with me 1-1 each week, and we begin each semester by identifying their key priorities.

Career Development: Exploring career paths, finding internships, and navigating the full-time job search, from networking to interview prep.

Admissions consulting is focused on helping students plan and prepare for a successful application.
Law School Admissions: Exploring your interest in law, building a strong profile, choosing schools, and putting together a strong application.
Medical School Admissions: Exploring your interest in medicine, finding research and clinical experience, planning MCAT timing, and preparing your application.
