Layli, Head Coach

I am Layli, the Head Coach of L2Coaching, and I have been in the student counseling field, guiding students through the college application process since my own college days. Raised in academia as the daughter of a college professor and Dean (Craig, the other half of L2Coaching), I am no stranger to university life. My passion lies in exploring college campuses nationwide, immersing myself in our programs and opportunities. I live for the moment when students commit to their dream schools and look forward to helping you find yours.

Turning Setbacks Into Success

Ever seen the movie "Orange County"? I lived it. Just like Collin Hanks' character, my high school guidance counselor's mishap with transcripts led to multiple college rejections. But I didn't let setbacks define me. Instead, I turned them into opportunities.
