Marcea Eckhardt is Founder, College Counselor and Coach of Global College Counseling, a firm she established to assist clients with finding the right university to fit their academic profile and goals. Having experience in counseling in a high school setting, she found that as the industry evolved there was a real need for more than a traditional guidance counselor role and to expand the role of college counseling to the global scale. She helps clients with the university application process, finding resources to fund their education, and determining how to best utilize higher education to help the student reach their goals.

With over 22 years of experience in her field, Marcea earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and School Counseling, and is a member of the International School Counselor Association. She lived abroad in England and was published for her work, and is proud to have raised two kids while working and establishing a thriving business. She credits her success to working hard, staying positive, and having a vision and mission.
