NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Stacy Kadesh
I have been working with students in the Bay Area for 30 years. After earning a Teaching Credential and a Masters Degree in Education, I worked as an educator in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District for 16 years. In addition to my teaching responsibilities I worked at the site and district levels training teachers in the best practices of literacy. I later attended UC Berkeley where I earned her Certificate in College Advising and Career Planning. I visits many college campuses each year and am an active member of several professional organizations including the National and Western Associations of College Admissions Counseling and the Independent Educational Consultants Association.
I founded Stacy Kadesh and Associates College Consulting to provide a Community Resource, taking the stress and uncertainty out of college admission. Working with hundreds of Bay Area students over the last 15 years, I have developed a unique and process based approach to help students through this challenging and exciting journey.
