Meet Elizabeth West
Hi! I’m Elizabeth, Founder and CEO of EWC College Consulting.
My Story
I am originally from upstate New York, but moved to North Carolina after I graduated from the State University of New York at Potsdam.
​
In college, I thought my passion was to be a journalist. I have always loved talking to people and hearing their stories. I had the opportunity to see stories come to life when I was hired as an Admissions Counselor at UNC Pembroke right after college.
Even though I graduated, I never really left college. I found my calling in higher education.
​
In my 25 years in higher education, working with students and helping them become successful continues to be the greatest joy of my career.
​
I have spent 10 years of my career counseling students as an admissions officer, Associate Director of Admissions, and Director of Admissions. Then, I enjoyed 15 years of my career teaching college students and working with them on how to become transfer students.​
