Gerene Keesler is a Tampa native with over 25 years of invaluable experience in higher education and admissions offices. As an independent college counselor, she established Admissions Untangled which offers assistance gaining admission, graduate planning, and helping to streamline the college experience. Her background includes working in both undergraduate and graduate admissions offices, conducting countless mock interviews, refining essays, facilitating scholarship searches, and guiding students through the intricacies of college admissions.
What sets Admissions Untangled apart is the wealth of experience and a personal connection to the challenges many students face. As stated by Gerene, “ As a high school student, I navigated the education landscape feeling lost and undiagnosed for decades. It was only later that I discovered I am on the spectrum with various comorbidities, including epilepsy. This personal journey has given me unique insights into the struggles of doing poorly in school, not knowing how to study, and searching for the proper support.” Gerene now works to help make the college experience for students a much easier and enjoyable process.
As a testament to her dedication to the field, she is a member of NACAC and SACAC, as well as an associate member of IECA.
