I guide students and their families through the entire college process. What I love about this work is that everyone is different and brings a unique perspective, so my job is to help each student find their own path while taking the anxiety out of it and making it more fun.

My Background
My favorite word is “serendipity.” It’s “serenity” with a “dip” in it, and many of the happy turns in my life have been guided by it. My first job after college was as a test prep tutor, and the surprise of that work was discovering how much I love working with teenagers. More than twenty years later, I’m still helping teens with the college application journey. Besides the fun of getting to know each student, what keeps me engaged, excited, and humble is that there is always an infinite amount to learn. The variables keep changing, and I find it fun to track them: visiting schools, learning about new programs, attending conferences, and sharing the latest information in my work with families.

Outside of the Office
I love learning, and I’m endlessly curious about the world! My favorite hobby is travel, and I can talk about it all day long. When I’m home, you’ll find me cooking, baking, or grilling, because feeding myself and others brings me joy. I also have two feline children, Penelope and Riley, whom I adore and have even taught to sit for treats!
