Contact me if you would like personalized College Admissions consulting services. My work has always involved connecting students to opportunities and resources.

After more than a decade of work in Higher Education at a diverse group of universities, ranging from selective liberal arts colleges to large public research institutions, I now work to support students and families through the college admission process.

I have come to this work with a Master's Degree in International Studies, and with significant experience working with students and emerging adults. I have served on admission selection committees, developed global programs for institutions, and coached students through competitive fellowship and scholarship applications.

My leadership experience in higher education has given me a unique vantage point; allowing me to support students with perspective, knowledge, and care. I always aim to make a genuine connection and to focus on students' preferences, interests, and needs.

I work with students and families who are genuinely seeking the best fit school. I can help you as you choose potential colleges to visit; plan visits' and prepare for interviews; decide where to apply; explore academic fields and programs of interest; developing, drafting and finalizing your personal statements, short answers and essays; applications for financial aid and scholarships, and more.

I am also available for graduate school consulting services, gap year advising, early career advising, and advising in the international education space.

I have served as a writing tutor for dozens of students applying for merit-based scholarship and fellowships. My former clients have received nationally competitive awards such as Fulbright, Benjamin Gilman Scholarship, and Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship. I aim to make writing straightforward and enjoyable.

I have experience teaching in the social sciences at the university level. I am excited to support students who need additional support.

Career Development

Career Development

I've worked with students and young professionals to create professional cover letters and clear, eye-catching résumés. Everyone should have an outside expert assist them through the job-search and career launch process. I also coach individuals through the application and negotiation process. My specific areas of job placement are mainly in education and the nonprofit sectors.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I began my career in undergraduate admission at a selective private university over 12 years ago. Over the years I transitioned to working directly with students and administrators on campus in divisions of Academic Affairs and International Education. In these positions, I advised students, developed new programs, and collaborated with university leadership at 5 different institutions. All of my work has involved significant work on selection committees and advising students on a range of opportunities from undergraduate admissions to graduate school, and also including scholarships and fellowships.
