Working with Dr. Navin Valrani has been nothing short of life-changing. He has been so much more than just a counselor — he’s been a mentor, a guide, and someone who truly believes in his students even when they may doubt themselves. His goal was never just to help us get into college, but to help us understand who we are, what drives us, and how to embrace both our strengths and our challenges. No matter the moment, he’s always there — listening, supporting, and finding ways to turn every hurdle into an opportunity. He takes the time to turn the overwhelming into the manageable, making the college process not just bearable, but meaningful and even enjoyable. For him, his students are like his own. Thank you, Dr. Navin, for believing in me, guiding me, and inspiring me to reach higher than I ever thought possible.
