Friends for many years, both Michele and Anne frequently talked about their mutual interest in the college application process.  Michele founded Pinpoint College Planning as a way to meet the needs of local Bellingham students and families. Now, having both earned their Certificates in College Counseling through UCLA, Michele and Anne look forward to serving the needs of families both near and far. We are meeting in person with students in Bellingham, WA, where Michele resides, and San Francisco, CA, where Anne lives. In addition, both counselors meet virtually with students from all over the country.
