I have been counseling students and advising families on college admission and educational planning since 1997, guiding individuals through the many questions associated with choosing and applying to colleges, secondary schools, and graduate programs. I work with families locally, across the country, and around the world.

With extensive experience in independent boarding and day school, college, college transfer, and graduate school admissions (including Business, Law, Medical, and academic programs), as well as career counseling and consulting to schools and colleges, I provide personalized, supportive, experienced, professional advising to students and parents to help generate options, strategize solutions, and manage complex admissions requirements and processes.

My goal? To help individuals discover their strengths, maximize their potential, find the environment that fits them best, and gain access to institutions where they will succeed, thrive, and grow.

Please take some time to explore this site, and contact me to discuss the consulting process and to set up a first consultation.
