Ashley Drapp

Founder, Drapp College Consulting

With over 15 years of experience in college admissions, beginning as a school counselor, then conducting research for a private college advisor, and now serving as an independent educational consultant, I’m passionate about helping students grow in confidence and clarity as they pursue higher education.

I hold a Bachelor’s in Education from the University of Kentucky and a Master’s in School Counseling from the University of Dayton, which laid the foundation for my work in both academic advising and personal development.

As a wife, mother, and lifelong educator, I understand the importance of matching students not only with the right academic fit, but also with environments that align with their values, goals, and personalities. My mission is to ensure every student I work with feels seen, supported, and equipped to make one of life’s biggest decisions with purpose.
