Why Work With Me?
Are you a parent of a high school student feeling the stress of college applications? You’re not alone—I’ve been there myself. As a parent, I’ve guided my own children through the process three times, so I understand the worries, questions, and hopes that come with this journey.
Professionally, I bring more than 30 years of experience in education, along with Master’s Degrees in both Teaching and Higher Education Administration. My time at Boston University as an Academic Advisor and Associate Director of Student-Athlete Services gave me a behind-the-scenes understanding of how admissions decisions are made—and how students can stand out.
I offer personalized support for every type of student. For athletes, that means helping you connect confidently with coaches, identify strong academic and athletic fits, and prepare applications that reflect both your talents and goals. For high-achieving students, I provide guidance on crafting essays that capture your authentic voice and show colleges how you’ll make an impact on their campus.
No matter your path, I combine expertise with empathy so you and your student feel supported, informed, and encouraged every step of the way.
ABOUT
My Approach
I believe that when families understand how the college admissions process works, and why certain decisions are made, the experience becomes more manageable and far less overwhelming.
My role is to bring clarity and structure to a process that often feels uncertain. I guide families through what is actually happening behind the scenes, including how applications are evaluated, how colleges build a class, and what truly matters in a student’s application.
At the center of my work is a clear application strategy. Each part of the application, including the personal statement, activities, and recommendations, should work together to tell a cohesive and compelling story.
When approached thoughtfully, these elements reinforce one another and give admissions readers a clear understanding of who a student is and what they will contribute.
I take the time to understand each student as an individual, including their strengths, interests, and goals, and use that insight to shape a plan that is both strategic and authentic.
From building a balanced college list to developing a well positioned application, every step is intentional and aligned with the student’s story.
While every student is different, the process itself is not left to chance. I provide a thoughtful and structured approach that adapts to each student while ensuring that nothing important is overlooked.
The result is a process that feels organized, informed, and grounded in confidence.
