Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Henry.
Hi Amy, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
GuideU started in October 2019 as a small-scare business primarily for family and friends, but in August 2021 I expanded the business to anyone who wanted assistance with the college readiness process. During my time as a counselor I saw an increase in the stress families were feeling when preparing for college admissions. My goal was to reduce the anxiety students and parents felt, while providing additional access to someone who is knowledgeable, well-trained, ethical, and competent. All the things that you would expect from a consultant who has an established background in successfully guiding students to their goals.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Fortunately the road has been more smooth than bumpy for me. Naturally I am not a risk taker and so before I started this business I did alot of homework to plan as much as I could to ensure success on the parts that I could control.
We’ve been impressed with GuideU, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
While it’s impossible to make a guarantee in regards to admission, I often feel the benefit you gain from this type of investment is similar to hiring someone to help you plan a vacation – you avoid potential missteps, the best advice is from someone who has been to the destination before!
I have personally visited almost 50 campuses across the United States.
