I’m all about helping (high school students and their families) who want to apply to top-tier colleges, and I do that by working together on strategies that will help you chart a course to find your right fit college.
I’m a certified College and MBA Admissions Coach and an Ivy League graduate myself.
I created College Excellence LLC because I believe everyone has the capacity to attend college.
I’ve helped students gain admissions and full-ride scholarships to top schools in the US (including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge!)

I have been in educational consulting and financial planning in some capacity for over 30 years and bring a unique perspective and skill set to the college admissions process.
I joined the Rice University Admissions team as the Assistant Director of Admissions after graduating from Rice and became an enthusiastic advocate for the university.
Following this experience, I went into financial planning, assisting families with college planning, retirement, and estate planning.
I became a college funding specialist and independent educational consultant in 2014 and subsequently opened Wise Owl College Planning in 2020.
Getting the most college money at the school that is the right fit for the student is a dance between the application for admissions and financial aid.
I started Wise Owl College Planning to advise and assist parents through the college financial aid process and guide students to the right fit in college.
My journey as a clinician began in the U.K. in 2011 when I embarked on the path to becoming a therapist. After completing both clinical and academic studies, I graduated with a degree in Humanistic Counseling Practice from the University of Nottingham, England. I’m not just the founder of Destination Therapy; I’m a dedicated therapist who has embarked on a transformative journey to help individuals in their pursuit of well-being.
I’ve been trained in a range of therapeutic disciplines, which has influenced how I lead and work as a team. At Destination Therapy, our work is grounded in being Humanistic and Person-Centered, which means that you, the client, are our priority, and building a strong foundation for our therapeutic relationship is paramount to us.
My goal as a therapist is to help my clients make space for all parts of them to show up as their authentic selves and actualize the life they’ve been envisioning by taking intentional steps toward their desired destination.
