A Passion for Guiding Students to Success
I am passionate about helping students identify and gain admission to their right-fit colleges, including Ivy League schools and top 30 universities in the U.S. and U.K.
As a former Ivy League interviewer, I bring unique insight into how students can effectively showcase their skills and interests during the college admissions interview. Over the years, I have successfully guided students into some of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including all eight Ivies—Harvard, Yale, Princeton—as well as Ivy-equivalent schools like Stanford and MIT, and top liberal arts colleges such as Amherst and Wellesley.
My personal journey sparked my passion for becoming an independent college consultant. As both an Ivy League graduate and a parent of two daughters who attended Stanford and Harvard, I know firsthand the dedication it takes to help a student stand out for admission and the lifelong value of an Ivy League or equivalent education.
I have a deep understanding of what it takes not only to get in but to succeed in these environments. My goal is to provide families with the guidance, strategies, and support needed to make the college journey a positive and successful experience.
