Why We Are Excited to Deliver Our Services to the Fremont Community We are thrilled to announce the opening of StrivePath’s sixth office in Fremont, a location driven by the demand from local parents who are seeking relief from the stress and noise often associated with college and academic planning. As Fremont is known for its high-pressure environment, our mission is clear: to create a balanced and student-centered approach that focuses on what truly matters—the student’s growth, happiness, and long-term success. At StrivePath, we believe that the journey to college is about much more than just the destination. It’s about who the student becomes along the way. We’re not here to focus solely on admissions to prestigious schools; instead, we aim to foster students’ personal growth, helping them discover their interests, build strong academic habits, and develop the confidence needed to thrive in whatever path they choose. StrivePath’s Student-Centered Approach Our Fremont office reflects this commitment to holistic, personalized guidance. We recognize the complexity of the high school-to-college transition and the increasing stress families feel in the face of competing priorities. By offering in-person support, we aim to alleviate that pressure and give families the clarity they need to make confident academic and career decisions. Meet Maiya, StrivePath’s Fremont Consultant We are excited to introduce Maiya, who will lead our Fremont office with expertise, compassion, and dedication to helping families navigate the college admissions process. A Silicon Valley native, Maiya brings a wealth of experience as both an academic and college counselor. She has worked in both boarding and public schools, gaining a deep understanding of the varied needs of students from all walks of life. Maiya’s approach is rooted in her extensive background, having attended 200+ college tours across the U.S. and Canada. She has a deep understanding of both domestic and international college admissions processes, having reviewed first-year applications for three UC campuses. Her exposure to different academic systems, including International Baccalaureate (IB), makes her uniquely qualified to guide families through a broad range of college options. With a BA in Sociology from Brandeis University, a certificate in College Admissions and Career Planning from UC Berkeley Extension, and a MA/MEd in School Counseling from Columbia University, Maiya brings both academic rigor and practical knowledge to her role. Above all, she is driven by a genuine desire to ensure families have the information they need to make the best college and career decisions for their students. “I’m passionate about supporting students and families in their educational journeys. StrivePath’s student-first philosophy truly resonates with me, and I’m excited to help families find peace and clarity during this important process,” Maiya shares.
