"Dream. Master. Create."
Welcome to MC Advising! I am José Iván Román, Founder. I utilize my natural abilities, professional training, and lived experiences to nurture my advisees' intellect, creativity, and personal empowerment.
When it comes to personal growth, it takes a village to nurture our youth. I am proud to serve as a member of that village. As a mentor, advisor, and counselor, I offer services that complement the work of our school’s guidance counselors, academic advisors, college counselors, coaches, and staff mentors. Many families and students seek quality time, attention, and expertise to enhance or supplement their scholastic experience. As a Scholastic Advisor and Student Mentor, I provide valuable coaching and guidance to support student growth and success. Valuable mentoring can lead to college admissions success and other quality post-secondary career opportunities. As a College Admissions Counselor, I also serve as an expert at interpreting the information that colleges and universities publish for prospective students and their families.
​
Intuition is a central feature in my brand of advising. Intuition may be described as inner knowing that is independent of the ego. I encourage advisees to connect with their intuition, which serves as an inner guidance system. Being aligned with our inner guidance empowers us to take inspired action in our lives. I support my advisees’ diverse learning styles and philosophies, valuing and respecting each individual's unique journey through personal development. Each of us has our own path to walk; but, we are never alone. We have community. I feel deeply honored when my advisees say: “You see me.” Prioritizing my advisees' confidentiality and well-being, I serve as a channel for peace, love, and respect.
​​
As an Intuitive Advisor, I listen carefully to my advisees. My listening is active AND receptive. My intuitive abilities help me guide discussions. As an Admissions professional, I rely upon my training and intuition to deliver a holistic review of an application. Admissions professionals discern which candidates possess the qualities to enhance life on campus. Admissions committees tune into a candidate’s judgment, motivation, and intention. I facilitate an experience that unpacks, uncovers, and reveals what already exists within my advisees: A Master Creator. Each of us possesses a unique creative fingerprint. I support my advisees’ experimentation with channeling their energy, intention, and creativity.
