"As a proven college admissions consultant, I provide expert guidance on college applications and college essays, course planning, standardized test (ACT and SAT) planning, college list creation including financial aid/merit aid/scholarship considerations, as well as career planning/resume development and interview prep.

I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), with a Master’s Degree in School Counseling, and proven results as an independent college admissions counselor. With 20+ years of training and professional experience, I have enjoyed multiple roles in the field, including evaluating applications and essays for a research university's undergraduate admissions office; training in college counseling at the Harvard Summer Institute on College Admissions; serving as a guidance counselor at a large DC public high school; and, coaching for College Summit, a national nonprofit that offers mentoring for students who are the first in their families to attend college.

I have advised students who have been accepted to the most selective colleges, including Ivy League universities, leading liberal arts colleges and research universities.

Students tell me that I am creative, strategic and supportive. I have recently experienced this process with my oldest child; I now know firsthand the many benefits of receiving empathetic guidance as your family navigates the college admissions process." less...
