Stop the stress!

I help teens and families navigate college admissions without the overwhelm. Parents outsource the management and nagging to me so they can go back to a healthier, happier family dynamic while their student reaches for their dreams.

Think of me as your go-to person for all things college: someone who breaks the process into simple steps, takes the mystery out of admissions, and brings steady support (and a little humor when things get intense). From test prep to essays to building a smart college list, I’ll guide you every step of the way. You bring your goals; I’ll help you get there. You don’t have to figure this out alone. I’ve got you.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Bonnie Treece

School has been my passion since childhood. What began as helping classmates in math evolved into a lifelong career empowering students to discover their strengths.

After earning my degree in psychology summa cum laude and working on neuropsychology research at Baylor College of Medicine, I realized that education is more than academics: it’s about confidence, motivation, and mindset.

Now, through Empowered College Prep, I work one-on-one with students worldwide via Zoom, combining data-driven strategy with genuine care.
