I believe in the power of education to transform lives

I am passionate about helping students achieve admission to their dream schools

I work with a small group of applicants each year so I can spend quality time to get a deep understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. A keen storyteller, I have a very hands-on style of working, where I will get involved in each and every aspect of crafting your application, building a tailor-made strategy, and becoming your sounding board.

My Mission Is To…

Help students connect the dots between their varied experiences, build their stories, and write applications that present their authentic self in their true voice.
