She has twenty-five years of experience as a classroom teacher, in both middle school and high school.

I aim to empower students to take charge of their own admissions process with them through the whole journey.
The best advice I can give to a student thinking about college is: be who you are, develop your talents and passions, and then let the chips fall where they may. I can help your child define what is important to them and who they want to be in order to identify colleges that match their values and goals. I will support them as they refine their applications to show their schools the best version of the person they are and aspire to become, and I will work with your family’s values and needs in the final decision-making so that your child ends up in a school where they can flourish both academically and socially.
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”
