Since 2001, I have worked in higher education, with some breaks in between to raise my three children. As a solo practitioner, I actively participate in several professional organizations, including the Independent Educational Consultants Association, the New England Association for College Admission Counseling, and the Higher Education Consultants Association. At the 2023 annual HECA conference, I received a Rising Star Award for my significant contributions to the organization within the first five years of membership.

To stay updated with the latest developments in higher education, I prioritize my professional development and make it a point to visit several colleges each year, expanding my knowledge of institutions across the United States. I have furthered my expertise in college affordability by completing the IECA college affordability certificate. Additionally, I volunteer with the Scholar Match and Matchlighters programs, mentoring underserved youth through college admissions. My extensive experience, active involvement in professional organizations, continuous learning, and commitment to supporting students from diverse backgrounds make me a dedicated and well-rounded independent educational consultant.

I limit my client base to 20 comprehensive clients per graduating class, ensuring that each individual receives the undivided attention and tailored guidance they deserve. While some students begin their journey as early as freshman year, most embark on this collaborative process as juniors.

Embracing a hands-on approach, I meet students exactly where they are in their college journey, valuing their unique needs, learning styles, and aspirations. By focusing on their wants and needs, I strive to find the perfect fit for each student, matching colleges with their social preferences, academic aspirations, and financial considerations.

As an advocate for student empowerment, I primarily engage directly with the student , emphasizing their active involvement throughout the college planning process. While I educate parents on the intricacies of the college journey, my work predominantly takes place one-on-one with the student. I leverage college planning software and utilize collaborative platforms such as Google Docs to foster engagement and organization. To ensure accessibility and convenience, I offer virtual appointments through Google Meet and Zoom.

I provide comprehensive and personalized counseling, ensuring that each student receives the attention and support needed to thrive in the college admissions process.
