I am a Certified College Admissions Counselor with extensive experience guiding students and families through the increasingly complex college admissions process. I work with students across the country, providing personalized, strategic support designed to help them gain admission to colleges and universities that are the right academic, personal, and financial fit. My students have earned acceptance to highly selective institutions while securing significant merit-based scholarships, and I am deeply committed to helping families maximize affordability and opportunity.

​

I support students through every stage of college planning, beginning as early as ninth grade. This includes building intentional four-year academic and extracurricular plans, identifying colleges where students are competitive for admission and merit aid, and managing application timelines. I work closely with families to navigate financial aid processes, including appealing financial aid and merit award offers, and advising on application strategies that position students for the strongest possible outcomes.

​

A cornerstone of my work is college essay and application development. I help students craft authentic personal statements and refine supplemental essays that clearly communicate their voice, values, and goals while thoughtfully aligning with each institution’s mission and priorities. From initial brainstorming to final review, I ensure each application is cohesive, compelling, and strategically tailored.

​

My approach is grounded in a deep understanding of how colleges evaluate applicants. I bring more than two decades of experience as a public high school educator, including service as an English Department Chair, where I led curriculum development for diverse learners and provided professional training on instructional best practices. This background allows me to support students not only as applicants, but as learners developing the skills colleges value—critical thinking, strong writing, and self-advocacy.

​

I hold a degree in English Literature from Ursinus College, a Master’s in Educational Leadership and Administration from Cabrini College, and a second Master’s in Education from Immaculata University. I earned my College Admissions Counseling Certification from Villanova University and remain committed to ongoing professional development to stay current with admissions trends and institutional priorities.

​

I live in Chester County, Pennsylvania, with my husband and two young children. Building strong, trusting relationships with students and families is central to my work, and I strive to provide clear guidance, steady support, and reassurance throughout the admissions journey.
