"I spent 16 years in the classroom as an English and Journalism instructor before continuing on to earn my College Admissions Professional Certification from UC and start my own business as a full-time college admissions consultant and writing competition coach.

I've guided hundreds of students through the college admissions process from list building to application completion and essay writing support - all of whom have gone on to attend a top college of their choice. You will find my students on campus at NYU, Johns Hopkins, Wake Forest, Berkeley, the University of Texas, UNC Chapel Hill and beyond! I also assist with scholarship essays and have had multiple clients earn full-ride college scholarships.

As part of the preparation for college success, I provide personalized SAT/ACT test prep for the English section that has enabled my clients to improve as much as 110 points on just that section!

My students typically score a 5 or 4 on the AP Literature and AP Language exams. It’s rewarding to hear my clients report that they are confident and ready on test day.

My writing competition students are among the prestigious Gold Key and Silver Key award winners in the Scholastic Writing Competition and shortlisted finalists in the John Locke Writing Competition.

My success as a coach is based on first establishing positive and constructive relationships with my clients, strengthening their skills through encouragement and affirmation while maintaining high expectations.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have and look forward to meeting you!" less...
