Your college journey 

starts here.

There are over 3,000 four-year accredited colleges in the United States, each with its own application and admission requirements—all of which can change from year to year. Applying to college can be confusing and stressful for students and their families. I am here to help.

​

I help families sift through the hype and the barrage of information related to college admissions and focus on what matters most: the college-bound student. I believe finding the best-fit college should be a time of reflection, discovery, and confidence—with a dose of reality and laughter.

​

At the start of every application season, I look forward to getting to know my students and learning from their unique interests and ideas. To support them, I bring a clear, comprehensive understanding of the modern admissions landscape, a professional perspective built since 2009, and the curiosity to stay ahead of changing university trends. That foundation helps me identify each student's strengths and personality and connect them with programs and schools that fit, including ones they may never have considered on their own.

My individualized plans are for the services you need, at a cost that makes sense. Let's get started!

FAQs

​

When should I schedule an Initial Consultation?
I want your child to enjoy high school without unnecessary stress about college. That said, if you'd like guidance on course selection, community service, or summer opportunities, feel free to reach out as early as second semester of freshman year. Otherwise, the summer before junior year is ideal for most families. But don't hesitate to call even if your student is already a rising senior!

​

What role will I play as a parent in this process?
Parents are an extremely important, and necessary, part of this process. After all, it's likely you who will be paying the college bills! I turn to you often for insight into your child's strengths and motivations, and to understand your family's priorities. What's special about how I work with students is that I give them room to reflect, explore, and change their minds. I expect students to take ownership of their college path—and as a parent, you'll get to watch your child build real confidence in their own decisions, heading to college knowing they have what it takes to succeed.

​

You'll never be left wondering what's happening behind the scenes: after every meeting, I send you a summary email so you're always in the loop. These summaries are also a great jumping-off point for conversations with your student at home, a natural way to check in without it feeling like an interrogation.

​

My teen is already so busy — how can we add one more thing to their schedule?
I love working with busy students! Applying to college shouldn't feel like another extracurricular activity. Let's look at your child's schedule together and figure out what fits. We'll set a convenient meeting cadence, and we'll also talk through what your student can handle independently at home. Throughout the process, I'm just a phone call, email, or text away whenever you or your child has a question.
