As an independent college consultant, I specialize in the college admissions process. I approach students with respect and optimism. I empower students to recognize themselves, to value their instincts, and to gain confidence in their own voice‚ knowing their own voice is the best voice. My students and I, together, craft a college list with complexity that is comprised of colleges that are good academic, social, and financial fits. My students present their best selves to admissions offices with compelling applications that ring with authenticity and promise. My practice is characterized by great personal attention to my students and also by integrity in the process. I love working with all types of applicants from those applying to the most highly selective colleges to those applying to programs more generous in admissions. I have experience with service academies, athletic recruitment, scholarships, and financial aid. I also love working with students applying to medical school.
