For more than two decades, I’ve helped countless applicants successfully navigate the world of college and graduate school admissions. From recommending schools that are a great fit to crafting compelling personal statements, I have the expertise to guide families and students every step of the way.

A former journalist, I’m keenly aware of the power of storytelling. I combine my love of writing with my training as a career counselor and prehealth advisor to help students create compelling and authentic applications. A former admissions reader for Brown, I can tell you what makes a standout application. Everyone has unique strengths and interests: what are yours?

I work with a capped group of clients, allowing me to create personalized strategies that bring out the best in each and every student. I love learning about my students: what their hopes and dreams are, what inspires them and what they struggle with. The school search and application process is both exciting and challenging but I believe with the right support and guidance it can also be fun.

My degrees include a B.A from Mount Holyoke and an M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Virginia. I’ve worked with prehealth students at UVA and Bates College, and I uphold the highest ethical and professional standards as an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association.

I live in Concord, Massachusetts with my family and a menagerie that includes a dog, two cats, a turtle, a lizard and a flock of chickens. (I secretly want to add a goat to our collection but please don’t tell my husband that.) When I’m not working, I can be found with my nose stuck in a book, rowing on the Charles or attempting to play the piano.
