Background:

I was a successful lawyer for 20 years working at law firms before transitioning to in-house law departments. When my three children were in middle school, I decided to take a break from law to focus on my family. I began to immerse myself in the college admission process when my oldest was a junior in high school. Even with my legal background, I found the constantly changing landscape of college admissions incredibly confusing. I experienced first-hand how the college admissions process exerted an immense amount of pressure on my three children. Now that my children are in college, I decided to dedicate my efforts to assisting other students and their families to successfully navigate the college admissions process.

I strongly believe in taking a personal approach to college admissions. Trust in my expertise and dedication to helping students become more competitive candidates and identify their best-fit colleges. I am here to champion you every step of the way. Your college dreams are within reach, and I am committed to making them a reality.
