PRINCIPAL, EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT

Picture
PEAK College Consulting was founded in 2014 by Rebekah Elmore.  Before opening up PEAK, she worked in the business world for seven years, using leadership and managerial skills to run a multi-million dollar company of over 200 contracted employees.  Prior to her experience in business she was home, busy raising her four children, two girls and two boys.
​Before having her children Rebekah was a middle school teacher where she taught in Westfield, New Jersey.  She received her BS in Education from Wheelock College (now part of Boston University) in Boston MA, not far from her hometown of Exeter, New Hampshire.
Using her business knowledge and her love for education and children, she opened PEAK when she realized there was a need for college consulting as she went through the process with her own children. Ultra organized, and passionate about finding the right college fit for each student, she knew she could use her personable touch and way with students, to become a successful Independent Educational Consultant.  
Rebekah was trained at the Summer Training Institute at Swarthmore College which was taught by the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA).  She completed her certificate of Independent Educational Consultant, at University of California, Irvine in 2015.  She proceeded to achieve her IECA Professional member status in 2016.  Rebekah is also an active member of Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA) as well as a Certified Highlands Consultant.  Besides running an active business where she serves 100's of students, Rebekah also visits as many colleges as possible, learning about their admissions process and personality.  She attends annual conferences and participates in ongoing professional development.
In 2024, Rebekah successfully passed the board-certified examination and was awarded the prestigious Certified Educational Planner (CEP) designation by the American Institute of Certified Educational Planners (AICEP). This credential represents the highest standard in the profession, signifying a profound knowledge and unwavering commitment to educational consulting. Certification is bestowed upon college admissions consultants who meet stringent application requirements, including specialized training, extensive professional experience, and active participation in professional activities and organizations.  ​

Joining Peak College Consulting in 2019 was an easy transition for Mandi Elmore based on her skills, experience, and natural ease with high school students. Before starting at Peak, Mandi coached and trained in the health and wellness world working with hundreds of clients throughout the New Hampshire, Seacoast area. Her one-on-one coaching experience made for a natural transition into the college consulting world. While coaching, Mandi worked with many student-athletes on their health and fitness and is excited about working with high schoolers, in another capacity. Her past experience with athletes and her own personal journey as the parent of a D2 recruited athlete is an added bonus for those students looking to play at the collegiate level. 
In 2020 Mandi completed her Independent Education Consultant certificate at the University of California, Irvine. She is currently an associate member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association where she attends yearly conferences and seminars to further her education. Mandi continues to tour colleges throughout the country meeting admissions representatives and attending virtual tours and information sessions. She is presently working on her professional membership with IECA through continued professional development. During her time at Peak, she has worked with many students through their college selection process, assisting in the development of the personal essay, and building relationships with her families as they navigate through the unpredictable and ever changing admissions landscape. 
Mandi lives in Brentwood NH with her husband and two college-age sons. She graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1995 with a BS in communications. While staying home to raise her children, she managed the family business before focusing on the health and wellness of teens. 
A natural leader and advocate for high school students, Mandi was a natural choice for her sister-in-law, Rebekah, to join her team. We are excited to have Mandi’s expertise and enthusiasm as we grow our business to the next level.
