"I enjoy the whole process from brainstorming potential college paths to being part of the successful journeys my students make in the world. With experience living abroad in several countries and 23+ years in education, I bring both the skills and perspective to helping my students create and follow the right path for them - through a consultative, strategic, empathetic and student-focused advocate approach to setting students up for success and getting accepted to the schools of their choice. As both a graduate (M.A. in Educational Leadership) and former Admissions Head at Stanford University, I know what it takes from both the student applicant AND admissions committee side to not only be admitted, but how to flourish in the college system and further. And beyond guiding my students to be intellectually curious in their college journey, I also instill them with life skills to be motivated, mature, contributing and thoughtful human beings in society.
