With three years of experience in Graduate Admissions at Boston University, I had the privilege of sitting at the admissions decision table, advocating for students just like you. My passion for helping applicants is so strong that I spent 15 years volunteering for my alma mater, Occidental College. I represented them at college fairs, interviewed prospective students, and worked closely with the Admissions team.

I currently review scholarship applications for the CollegeBound Foundation. With an M.Ed. from Boston University and a background in education, I stay up-to-date through membership in three professional associations, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) ,the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA).

In addition to reading applications, what am I doing when not coaching students?

  • Conducting research tailored to each client

  • Engaging in professional discussions with IECA, HECA and NACAC colleagues

  • strategizing and monitoring fluctuations in the industry

  • Visiting campuses and meeting with admission officers

  • Attending conferences and continuing education programs

As a mom of three—a son and two daughters—I understand firsthand the challenges of finding a college that feels right for everyone. It’s easy to get fixated on a few schools, but there are hundreds of great options out there. Trust me, I’ve been through the process!
