As a personal college counselor, I provide assistance each step of the way as students prepare to apply to college. This includes guidance on high school course selection, standardized testing, the development of an individualized college list as well as supporting students as they write essays that highlight their unique strengths. I also assist students in maximizing college visits and in preparing them for interviews. My instructional approach throughout the college search and essay writing process leads students to feel empowered and allows for them to gain valuable research, writing, and editing skills that will serve them well in college.
I am a life-long educator and hold a master's degree in education from Harvard University's Graduate School of Education and an A.B. from Princeton University. In addition, I am a certified teacher in MA and NJ and have been working as a college counselor since 2011.
I have 10 years experience in college admissions work as an admissions reader for both MIT and Wellesley College. In these positions, I participated in all aspects of the admissions process from reading and evaluating applications to participating in the committees that rendered admissions decisions. My work as a college counselor began at a small counseling company in Hingham, MA and I now maintain my own practice. I am a member of NACAC (National Association for College Admissions Counseling) and NEACAC (New England Association for College Admission Counseling) and abide by the NACAC code of ethics and professional practices.
In addition to helping students find the right academic and cultural fit, I have worked with a variety of student-athletes (rowing, soccer, lacrosse, swimming) looking to play at the varsity level in college. As a former collegiate national champion and U.S. National Team member in rowing, I understand the importance of finding the right program and navigating the process for athletes as they commit to a collegiate sport.
Working locally with students in Cohasset, Duxbury, Scituate, Hingham and the South Shore of MA as well as with students across the country and internationally.
