The Power of Understanding:

My work begins with an understanding of the student. What makes them tick? What subjects fire their academic curiosity? What activities are fun and interesting? What are their skills, their values? How do they learn? My process includes a variety of assessment tools, personal interviews, and conversations with the family. My goal is to know the student well and help them know and value themselves.

The Process

Building a Plan:

I help students take what they know about themselves and build upon it. I find academic enrichment and career exploration opportunities so students can do more of what they love. I challenge students to tap their interests and do new things, to create impact in the world around them, and to test their skills. These experiences build confidence and help prepare them to be strong applicants for college.

Making a Match:

A deep knowledge of colleges and universities and their admissions practices allows me to create a strong list of potential colleges for students. I help students and families research those schools, find the places they really love, and narrow the list to a great set of colleges that match the student’s interests, skills and personality.

Telling the Story:

Students need to tell their unique story in college applications. Because I’ve taken the time to know them, I’m able to support them as they do that. The story is theirs to tell and the applications are theirs to complete. My role is to encourage them as they cross the tasks off the list, to help them find their creative spark, and to remind them of their value and the gifts they will bring to the colleges.

Straightforward Advice:

I give students and families my honest advice. I build strong relationships with students so that they know I believe in them. I help them make plans that reflect the reality of their accomplishments and the possibilities they dream of.
