I’ve been an educator for over 25 years, working in college counseling, pre-law advising, law school admissions, and teaching political science at the undergraduate level. I’ve loved all of it—especially walking alongside students and families as they navigate an ever-changing, often anxiety-filled process. It’s a privilege to watch young adults step into the responsibility of choosing what comes next.
​
Over the past decade, I’ve counseled over a thousand students through the college admissions journey. I’ve also led institutional strategy efforts, which sharpened my ability to make thoughtful decisions when uncertainty is high and information is incomplete. From both roles, I’ve learned the importance of being guided by values, understanding the system in which choices are being made, and matching good strategy with strong storytelling.
​
At my core, I'm an educator—I love helping families better understand the college journey within the context of the high school experience and the landscape of admissions. At different points, I will also be a strategist, a coach, and a counselor for your family. And together, we will turn this complex process into a healthy and thoughtful one.
I look forward to connecting with you.​
