About Me

I am Anisha Gupta—a university guidance counsellor, former educator and admissions official and a parent of 2 young children. Over the past 17 years, I have worn many hats and have supported students and families in making thoughtful, values-driven educational choices.

My journey has taken me across both the US and India, with roles at institutions such as The Park School, the American School of Bombay, Dhirubhai Ambani International School and B.D. Somani International School. I have also had the privilege of working in admissions for the University of California, Irvine for 4 years. 

This unique combination of experiences, spanning classrooms, counselling offices and a university admissions office has enabled me to bring a multidimensional perspective to my work with students.

As a parent of two young children, I understand how personal and sometimes complex educational choices can be. Hence, my approach is always empathetic and focused on what is in the best interest of each student and family.
