As the parent of a graduate from a selective university, I know first-hand how stressful and overwhelming the journey towards college placement can feel. It was my passion for working with students and the desire to make the college planning process less stressful for families that inspired me to become an Independent Educational Consultant.

I began my career working for a college consulting firm as their Arts-Based consultant and in 2011 decided to open my own college consulting business. Since then, I have helped place numerous students into their top choice colleges. I have a deep understanding of the challenges and complexities of the college application process and work to ensure that students have the opportunity to shine in their applications and thrive during their college years.

My interest has always been in education, and I worked for many years in both elementary and secondary school settings as a language arts specialist, creating curriculum and teaching writing workshops.

I am a graduate of the UCLA College Counseling Certificate program and am a member of various professional organizations including the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and the Western Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC).

Whether you are a high school student just starting to think about college, or a parent seeking expert advice and support, I am here to make the application process a smoother, more positive experience for all involved.
