College Planning Philosophy

I empower students to tell their stories and gain admission to colleges where they can thrive.

This is a pivotal and transformative time in a young person’s life. I help students gain admission to college and guide them toward schools where they will flourish and graduate. First, we work together to identify their strengths, clarify their aspirations, and build thoughtful college lists using a structured yet personalized process of self-discovery, strategic planning, and application development.

Drawing on a background in consulting and marketing, I support the student with crafting distinctive, impactful narratives that stand out in the admissions process. Together, we create cohesive applications—from essays to activity lists to supplemental materials—that authentically reflect who they are.

The process is methodical and organized, making it more manageable and less stressful. The results speak for themselves: students are consistently admitted to one of their top-choice schools, and families gain peace of mind knowing their student is well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities of college life. Ultimately, my clients enter college with clarity, confidence, and a strong return on their investment.

I am passionate about the power and value of education, and thoroughly enjoy guiding and supporting high school students as they navigate this exciting juncture in their lives.
