NorthStar Advisors began in 2003 by offering professional development training to counselors in NYC and continues to advance the profession by sharing expertise in best counseling practices today. Working with schools and organizations across the country, all engagements are individually designed and, after an extensive intake consultation, tailored to meet the specific needs of your community.
We welcome the opportunity to bring our services to you.
~ Jacqueline Pravda, Founder
"Jackie is a true educator and consultant. She can parse through a student's needs as only an experience educator can, while providing professional and individualized plans and guidance as only an experienced consultant can. Providing organizational consulting and training to our team, we also never hesitate to introduce her to any of our students, each of whom has always responded with glowing comments. In addition, Jackie has a simply bright personality which goes a long way with students as well as in her professional communications."
"A trusted colleague and dear friend, as Vice President of Admissions & Financial Aid, I had the great fortune to have worked with many dedicated counselors across the country. In my opinion, Jackie Pravda is the professional gold standard."
"In my 23 years of admissions experience, I have found few colleagues I enjoy working with more. I find Jackie to be a wonderful advocate, honest, direct and sincere. Her follow through is amazing as is her way with words! She is a joy to work with."
"You've given me incredible opportunities for growth, which is something I see happen so rarely. Plus, I see how well you know all of your students, and work closely and gently, yet realistically with them - A perfect balance."
