I have worked extensively with students as both an educator and private counselor. I help students plan their academic paths, identify engaging extracurricular activities, search for and visit colleges, write essays, and assemble applications. I particularly love getting to know young men and women and supporting them throughout their high school careers and college search processes. I believe it is essential to help each student become comfortable and confident in their abilities while also presenting a variety of right-fit college options.
