Your partner in college & university admissions, boarding school placement, and graduate school applications.
Navigating the admissions process can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I work closely with students and families to turn this big, exciting challenge into a journey that feels thoughtful, strategic, and personal.
With firsthand experience in admissions and applicant evaluation, I bring an inside perspective on what schools are really looking for — so we can shape your story in a way that’s both genuine and compelling. Together, we’ll build a clear, confident picture of who you are, what you care about, and where you’ll thrive.
I partner with families from all stages of their journey, whether that be in the beginning of researching schools and finding the right fit, at the critical point of developing your personal narrative and preparing materials, through financial aid processes and scholarship applications, all the way up until you make a final decision that you are happy with and excited about.
Schedule time with me to discuss your college, independent school, or graduate school goals and how we can partner together to make them a reality.
