Henna Ahmed

Hi, I’m henna ahmed.

I grew up in Los Angeles and received a B.A. in English and a B.S. in Psychological & Brain Sciences from the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2023, I received my M.S. in Higher Education from Northwestern University. During my Master’s program, I specialized in enrollment management, ethical admissions practices, and the legal and political side of higher education.

After graduation, I worked as an Assistant Director on Northwestern’s Top-10 admissions committee and reviewed West Coast applications. I have read 3,000+ admissions essays, attended the 2024 NACAC conference, and completed a 150-page Master’s thesis on financial savvy in higher ed. I am currently the Associate Director of College Counseling for a private school in Honolulu, HI.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been helping students around the country as a private college counselor. My goal is to bring a sense of ease and fun into the process, along with establishing a positive relationship with your family. I’m so excited to work with you!
