About
Meet Rick Quon
Many of my clients value the combination of my 40+ years in the high tech industry and my genuine passion for helping students navigate the college search process. My business background provides me with practical insights that go beyond admissions strategy. I help students understand the real world skills that shape success in business and life, such as networking, job prospecting, interviewing, and negotiations. I often draw from my professional experiences to make these lessons relevant, especially for students exploring business and related fields. I feel genuinely fortunate to be part of that journey with my clients and their families.
