Selective College Admissions Counseling Guided by Expertise, Strategy, and Discretion

After nearly 14 years in the Office of College Admission at Brown University and also going through the college admissions process with my son, I recognized I could serve students and families best by bringing my experience and expertise directly to them. Since leaving Brown, I have personally counseled students one on one, guiding them through the highly competitive, complex, and ever-changing college admissions landscape.

I work with a select number of students each year to ensure the highest level of attention, customization, and strategic planning.


My approach is not about volume, it’s about precision - exclusive advising for a limited clientele, with families who value discreet, concierge-level service.

About

I specialize in guiding students toward top-tier institutions through a deeply personalized, values-driven approach. From early positioning and academic strategy to personal narrative development, my services are tailored to develop and highlight the unique strengths and goals of each student. I offer clarity, calm, and confidence at every step.
