Horacio
CEO & Founder
I am an international educator, counselor, and admissions expert with over 15 years of experience teaching, mentoring, coaching, and guiding students to the world’s top universities. A graduate of UWC Canada and Brown University, I combine a deep understanding of education with a genuine passion for mentoring students.
Throughout my career, I have worked in North America, Europe, and Asia, supporting students from diverse cultural backgrounds. With professional licenses and certifications in teaching, college counseling, TESOL, mindfulness, and positive discipline, I use a uniquely holistic approach to education—balancing academic excellence with emotional well-being, curiosity, and purpose.
Dream Ascend Education was founded to create a student-centered, high-integrity pathway for families seeking transparent, personalized, and world-class admissions support. My counseling approach focuses on helping each student discover their authentic strengths and passions, craft compelling narratives, and build meaningful experiences that elevate their potential.
Above all, I believe that success in college admissions is not just about getting into a top university—it’s about helping students grow into confident, capable, and compassionate young adults who are prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
