My Philosophy

Choosing a college is one of the most meaningful -- and expensive -- decisions made by adolescents and their families. I believe working with an advisor is worth the financial investment. 

However, I also believe that college admissions support should not be limited to those who can easily afford it, and I welcome referrals for pro bono clients who could benefit from my guidance.  

Students and families tell me that I am supportive, strategic, motivating and responsive. I consider myself a mentor, a researcher and a project manager. 

Results are important, but so is integrity. You can count on me to abide by the ethical principles and best practices developed by the National Association for College Admission Counseling. 

Last, I have valuable experience from multiple perspectives: counseling students in a large public high school, reviewing undergraduate applications for a research university, and most recently, parenting my oldest child as he navigated his own college admissions journey. I now know firsthand the many benefits of receiving empathetic and steady guidance during this process.
