From up here, the path is clear.
Having reviewed and made decisions on thousands of college applications, I use that admissions perspective to help your teen present their strongest, most authentic application.
There is a lot of noise out there.
Your teen is juggling school, activities, and a future that feels enormously consequential. And as a parent, you're trying to help without knowing exactly how... or relying on the way things were back when you applied to college.
That's where I come in.
My expertise from reading thousands of college applications takes the guesswork out of this complex process. I create a clear, organized plan so your teen feels empowered, rather than overwhelmed.
Guiding You Step-by-Step.
-
College admission isn't about checking boxes; it's about making several thoughtful decisions over time. I help families understand which opportunities are worth pursuing, which aren't, and how each step fits into a cohesive application strategy.
-
Every teen has something that sparks genuine curiosity, excitement, and purpose. The most memorable applications are the ones where this enthusiasm comes through clearly to the admissions team.
I pride myself on spending ample time with each student I mentor, getting to the heart of what brings them joy, curiosity, and energy. Together, we identify meaningful ways to explore and deepen these interests over time.
My goal is simple: to help your teen present themselves authentically and memorably.

There are many smart, kind college consultants out there, but very few have actual college admissions experience.
I have personally reviewed and made admissions decisions on thousands of applications, and this perspective shapes every recommendation I make.
After seven years inside some of the country's most selective admissions offices, and as a parent who has navigated this process with my own children, I understand how personal the college search becomes for families.
This process is about more than applications. It's the conversations around the dinner table, the anxiety your teen carries about “doing everything right”, and all the noise that makes these decisions seem so complex and permanent.
I help families move through the process with confidence and clarity, and make sure every student recognizes that their story is worth telling.
