"2023: 100% of my college counseling students accepted at one of their top choices, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgia Tech, University of Chicago, and UC Berkeley! Colleges are looking for young people with unique voices; my gift is helping students discover their own.

About me: After graduating in English from Harvard, I ran literary development for a producer at 20th Century-Fox, working with the writers of “Ordinary People” and "Spiderman" before launching a film from my own concept, directed by Oscar nominee John Boorman and starring Oscar winners Patricia Arquette and Frances McDormand, released by Columbia Pictures, described as a “masterpiece” by The New Yorker.

I moved to Europe for many years, translating art history books and television. For five years I was under contract to New Line Cinema, writing for the Executive Producer of "Lord of the Rings." I spent several years developing a drama about Robert Kennedy in consultation with several of the late Senator's closest friends and colleagues. I also have fifteen years' experience lecturing at a leading film school. I have worked professionally as a photographer, including two tours with the Irish rock band, U2.
