Strategic, Supportive, and Ethical College Advising
Transforming college admissions into a POSITIVE experience.
TAMAR DOLGEN
Founder & Advisor
She/Her
After decades of working with start-ups, global brands, and nonprofits, I transitioned my marketing and communication expertise into college and career advising. I believe a strategic, supportive and ethical approach to college counseling can transform the overwhelming admissions process into a positive experience.
To promote equity in education, I collaborate with the nonprofit, Step Ahead Idaho, and serve on the board of The Space Idaho. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University, a Master of Law and Diplomacy from Tufts University, and a Certificate in College Admissions and Career Planning from UC Berkeley Extension. I am an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and a member of The Pacific Northwest Association for College Admission Counseling (PNACAC). Currently, I sit on the board of Hillel at Cornell University and previously served on the Cornell University Council. Having lived and worked in Latin America, I speak fluent Spanish.
When I’m not advising students or visiting colleges, you can find me hiking, biking, skiing, or spending time with friends and family.
