College Counseling
An Admissions Insider.
Now On Your Side.
Dear Student,
I know the college process can feel exciting and extremely overwhelming.
Everyone has an opinion about what you should do, where you should go, and when to start: parents, teachers, friends, employers…
Which makes it difficult to figure out what’s right for you.
That’s where I come in - as your #1 supporter and guide!
I’m here to listen, to get to know who you are, to help you recognize your strengths and what makes you unique, and to help you identify colleges that make sense for your future.
Once we’ve chosen the best-fit colleges for your goals, we’ll break the application process into manageable steps. This way, you feel confident, prepared, and supported throughout every step.
You’ve got this!

Your Student’s Goals.
Your Family’s Needs.
My Expertise.
I started in admissions as an ambassador while in college and later became a counselor, meeting with hundreds of students and families.
I’ve seen college admissions from both sides of the desk: as an admissions counselor reviewing applications and as a college counselor guiding students in crafting authentic, engaging ones.
Now, I bring a blend of professional experience, ongoing admissions training, and frequent visits to college campuses around the country to support students directly with insider information…
Since the college admissions landscape changes often, what counts as a “good application” looks different every year.
I stay current by attending college counseling conferences, touring campuses, and connecting with other counselors to prioritize guiding you with the most up-to-date information!
At the end of the day, students appreciate me because they get the encouragement and structure they need to go after their goals.
Parents trust me because they get peace of mind knowing their student is supported by someone who always puts them first (and you no longer have to worry about deadline, essay, or submission arguments over dinner)!
