“My mission is to help you and your child navigate high school with intentionality so that they discover who they are, find the right fit college for them, and pave the way for future success.”

With a diverse professional and educational background, I bring a unique perspective to supporting students and families through today’s rapidly changing college admissions landscape.

During my 15+ years in corporate roles—from R&D and engineering to product management, marketing, and business development, I found myself consistently drawn to mentoring. That interest led me to begin studying the nuances of college admissions, first to support my nephew, and later to guide my own two children through their college planning. My journey into full-time professional college counseling combines formal training in college consulting, professional counseling, college affordability, and essay development with firsthand experience.

As someone who completed high school abroad, I navigated the U.S. college process alone, giving me deep empathy for first-generation, immigrant, and underrepresented students who often feel overwhelmed by it all. Working with my own children also showed me how limited public, and even private school counseling resources can be. Thankfully I had the opportunity to dig deep and study the process so that I could fill those huge gaps. The result, both my children gained admission to some of the top colleges in the nation.

Today, I work with students and families in the U.S. and internationally, offering virtual guidance in college planning and applications. Affording college is a huge aspect that is often ignored or avoided until it's too late for many families. My personal experience on this front inspired my mission to educate families about college affordability and reduce student debt, one family at a time.

My goal is to simplify the process, reduce stress, help students uncover their strengths, and equip them to identify and gain admission to colleges that fit them academically, personally, and financially. As your college admissions consultant, I focus on true holistic fit while helping you navigate an ever-evolving admissions landscape.
