Meet Alana Cooper
Alana Cooper is an experienced Independent College Counselor, guiding students and families through every step of the college admissions process with a personalized, student-centered approach.
She brings a strong background in Undergraduate Admissions, Financial Aid, and High School Counseling, gained from her time working at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), UC Santa Barbara, and the ABC School District.
“I first met Alana many years ago when she was my high school counselor, and she has been instrumental in shaping the path I’m on today. As a first-generation college student, I had no one to guide me through financial aid, grants, or the college application process—until I met Alana. She is both compassionate and determined, someone who sees your potential and refuses to let you settle for less. With her unwavering support and encouragement, I never doubted my ability to achieve my goals.”
