Certified MBT & Strong Practitioner
College Counselor

Carol Molino became inspired by the college admissions process when her oldest daughter worked through the Williams Educational Consultants program. She now has three college graduates (and one master's graduate), and each undertaking was distinctive due to her children's varied desired areas of study, extracurricular interests, and personalities. Carol believes that "one-size-does-NOT-fit-all" when it comes to college counseling. With Carol's one-on-one influence, she helps students effectively share what is sophisticated about each student's background, revealing the value they can provide to prospective universities and ultimately finding their university match. She knows that if the process is done properly, it can also be an exceptional opportunity for students to grow in self-awareness and self-confidence.
​
Her strong business background and professionalism have included Underwriting and Training Coordinator for a large reinsurance corporation and Membership Director for a Chicago women's mentoring and networking organization. Education has been a top priority for Carol throughout her life, and the desire to give back to the educational system and students is instinctive. She has built upon her business skills, professionalism, and compassion for helping students to become a certified Independent Educational Consultant. She has volunteered as a college advisor for Chicago students, PTA President at multiple levels, performed grant work for a foundation that served 13,000 students, and served on multiple scholarship committees. Carol also received the 2017 All-Star Volunteer Award for her work.
​
Carol resides in Chicago. She has a BSBA in marketing and insurance and a Certificate in College Counseling. She is a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association. In her free time, Carol enjoys travel (particularly to see her three children!), spending time with her husband and friends, golf, cooking, volunteering, and the outdoors.
