Road Map Architect
From Beirut to the World
I worked in management consulting for a few years and then taught Economics at the American University of Beirut. After seeing my students struggle at university with important decisions such as choice of major and career direction, I decided to change paths. After a lot of research and 3 years of going back to college benches, I earned my certificate from the UCLA extension in ‘college counseling’ program, with distinction, in 2015.

Diala helped me navigate with confidence the complicated world of applications and do real work of introspection to be able to figure out my best fit major and to write my college essays and present myself in the best light possible, which got me into my dream university and my dream major!
Working with Diala was a beautiful journey of self-discovery. Diala allowed me to highlight my qualities and to work on myself in order to reach my full potential which was accurately reflected in my applications. With her careful guidance, genuine care and continuous support, I was able to realize my long life dream of getting to my dream school UCLA and major in aeronautical engineering. I cannot be more grateful to have met Diala!
Diala gave me the support I needed throughout the tedious application process. She helped me narrow down the list of my university choices until I was happy with all my options. The tools she provided and her constant support and care helped me get offers from top universities around the world including my top choice Tufts university.
From basic steps to complicated and elaborate tasks, my UniEdge counselor guided me through this journey, and taught me lifelong lessons. She was a support, a motivator, an advisor, a guide but most importantly a friend. She pushed me towards my dreams and always brought out the best of me. I wouldn't have made it without you and I thank you for standing by my side this past year.
I decided to work with a counselor because I thought I wanted to pursue engineering in university but I didn't know which field suited my personality and my work ethics. After a few sessions with the UniEdge counselor who took her time to assess me, I realised what I really wanted to study in university and most importantly what suited me the most. I completely changed my mind and chose the business path. Each person has a certain profile and with counseling, you discover every aspect of your personality and you are sure to make the right choice for yourself. It is a well needed helping hand that ensures it will all go for the best in your professional life.
I worked with a UniEdge counselor this past year because, coming from a French school in Romania and wanting to go to a British university, I was completely lost and didn’t know where to start. I needed help in finding universities I could apply to in the UK and had some very specific criteria in mind but no idea where to apply. Her sense of organization and confidence reassured me from the beginning. She was very efficient and helped me a lot during the application season: together we came up with a great list of universities, she answered all my questions regarding the UCAS and provided a lot of support in brainstorming for my personal statement. She always made sure I was on track and sent me regular follow up emails to remind me of important deadlines.
Diala's accumulated experiences from different educational systems, French, English and American enabled her to smoothly understand, guide and successfully got our daughter accepted in universities matching her expectations. Diala is a great resource for high school students looking for what is best for their future!
After discussing with my counselor at UniEdge, I was able to find the degree that suits me best: Business Administration and International Relations. Working with a counselor really helped me turn my university application into its most convenient version possible. Not only was she helpful with the application itself but she also made sure other components of the application (essay, self-description, and other creative requirements such as creating a video or a prezi) highlighted my strengths and showed my best side. She assisted me as I was going through my choices and gave me her professional opinion, which allowed me to make up my mind regarding the university I wanted to study in. All in all, the challenging and often life-changing experience of applying for college was made so much easier and less stressful with my counselor's help.
Uniedge gave me the space to think about where I see myself out loud and helped me find the answers I was looking for. I remember walking in saying 'I do not know really know what I want' to walking out saying 'This is my plan!' I think everyone needs to have this conversation at some point in their life
