Los Angeles college consultant crafting compelling applications since 2016.

AMH College Consultant is founded by Ashley Michelle Hannah, a college consulting expert with nearly 10 years of experience. Ashley has served as a college essay consultant for College MatchPoint and an admissions consultant for Strategic College Consulting, where she refined her ability to guide students toward personal, strategic, and compelling applications.

Ashley completed her B.A. at Stanford University and her Masters of Fine Art at The University of California, Los Angeles. She received acceptances to Harvard University, Columbia University, Stanford University, UCLA, RISD, and others.

Small caseloads offer unparalleled support for students and parents.

Concerned by the robotic nature of many big-name consultants, Ashley founded AMH College Consultant to provide an alternative to high-volume consulting. Each year, Ashley commits to working with only 15-20 students, offering unmatched support to her students and families.

Develop lifelong skills of confidence, ambition, networking, and introspection.

Ashley is a passionate teacher who believes that education should be a process of self-actualization. Committed to a student-centered pedagogy, sessions at AMH foster confidence, ambition, networking, problem-solving, honesty, introspection, and kindness that translate far beyond compelling college applications.

Applications are equally strategic and creative endeavors.

As an arts educator and college consulting expert, Ashley is uniquely positioned to coach students on the strategic and artistic components of the application process. The result? Uniquely beautiful applications that deliver results.
