Janice Royal

Janice has been an Independent Educational Consultant since 2012. She is the founder and President of Royal College Consulting based in Costa Mesa, California. Her formal education includes a B.A. in American Studies from California State University, Long Beach where she graduated Summa cum Laude and was selected for admission to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Janice attended Claremont Graduate University on a full tuition, academic scholarship and earned an M.A. in American Studies. After graduation Janice worked for insurance companies for nearly 20 years until her youngest child was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Upon learning of her child’s diagnosis, she retired from the corporate world to learn everything about parenting, educating, and encouraging children who are neurodiverse. This led Janice to the area of college counseling as she discovered that college planning resources were scarce for families challenged with LD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and ASD.

Janice lives with her husband of 35 years, Rob, in Costa Mesa with two rescued Bichon Frise-poodles. Her oldest daughter graduated with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University, Bozeman. And her youngest graduated with a B.A. in Biology from Concordia University, Irvine. Both daughters are graduates of Orange Lutheran High School.
