Every Student’s Path to College is as Unique as They Are

I work with students from both public and independent high schools and their families, during the college search and selection process. My approach is warm, caring and collaborative. At the same time, I am highly strategic and tactical. I guide students with my deep knowledge of a broad range of institutions in the United States and internationally. I offer each client a clear path and informed guidance to effect a successful transition to college.

Family Feedback

Beyond my track record of successful college applications, I deeply cherish my clients’ feedback around the growth and development my guidance initiates, as well as the sense of calm and grounded perspective I offer to both students and their parents throughout the college journey.

“Your clients are extremely lucky to have you there to guide them through what could be an incredibly stressful process. 

One of your many strengths is identifying reach, target, and likely schools based on each student’s academic profile and personality. We appreciate the incredible amount of work that goes into that process - getting to really know a student, and helping the student learn about themselves. Best of luck with your new kids! I have no doubt they will be feeling as grateful as we are come this time next year.”
