I
Begin with the student, not the school.
Every list, every essay, every plan starts from who the student actually is, not the brand of an institution.
Approach
Quiet rigor. Real writing. The right school.
Six principles that shape every student engagement, regardless of grade, geography, or ambition.
I draw on a national network of colleagues through IECA, NACAC, and MACAC, and I research each student's options in depth, so my guidance stays current and grounded.
Six principles
What guides every engagement.
II
Writing is thinking.
Strong essays begin with the student. My job is to uncover the story worth sharing and help them craft it so compellingly that admissions officers cannot put it down.
III
Strategy without anxiety.
Working with an independent counselor takes the stress off the family so everyone can breathe.
IV
Honest counsel.
I will tell you the truth about where your student stands, even when it is hard to hear.
V
A global lens.
American universities are one path among many. I work with families across the United States and Europe, and know how to navigate admissions on both sides of the ocean.
VI
Everything in one place.
I work with each student in College Planner Pro, a shared workspace that holds your school list, deadlines, essays, and comparisons side by side, so nothing falls through the cracks and you always know exactly where you stand.

Let’s talk about your student.
I work with a limited number of students each year.
