After growing up in the Napa Valley, Jennifer earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from San Diego State University and earned her Certificate in College Counseling (with Honors) from UC San Diego. In college, Jennifer volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for children in the juvenile dependency system and several times a year, was a guest speaker to a women’s domestic violence support group.

Prior to finding her passion in College Counseling, Jennifer started her career in education in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) field. During her time in ECE, she taught Kindergarten, ran a NAEYC Accredited school, and worked as a multi-school District Manager in CT and CA. When not working, Jennifer filled her days as Club Soccer Team Manager, Cub & Girl Scout Leader, Girl Scout Service Unit Manager and volunteer puppy raiser for Guide Dogs of America.

It is a true honor that she gets to work with high school students and their families as they navigate the college search and admissions process. Having helped her own children with the process, she recognizes how confusing it can be. College admissions is not one-dimensional and neither should a student's college application be. She works closely with her students to provide individualized service to ensure that each student feels supported as they discover their Great College Fit! In addition to personalized meetings, she attends annual conferences and regularly visits colleges all to stay on top of current college admission trends.
