My students are enrolled in and have graduated from colleges around the world
Applying to college or university can be overwhelming. I help students and their families prepare for and navigate the process with personalized and individualized attention. I advise students based on their interests and abilities; I don’t use a “one size fits all” strategy. With ten years of experience working with high school students from the US and beyond, I help make the process less intimidating and more fun.
My approach
All students are individuals. My personalized approach allows me to cater to my students’ specific needs. I work with students and families to empower them to discover the best fit in terms of their college list and choices. What you will get when you work with me:

I visit colleges regularly and am familiar with a wide variety of institutions.
