About

My goal is simple: I want every student to land on a campus where they are celebrated, challenged, and supported to grow. As a Certified Educational Planner, I provide families with up-to-date knowledge and personalized guidance to navigate the college admissions process with ease.

I look forward to working together to find colleges that are a good fit for you academically, socially, and financially. And I love introducing students to high-quality, low-cost programs in the EU, UK, and Canada, as well as colleges and universities in the US.

My services include:

• Transcript analysis and high school course planning
• Academic and extracurricular activity development
• Standardized Test Planning
• Customized college list development
• Cost and Affordability, including financial aid and merit scholarships
• College application guidance and review
• College essay writing and revising
• Transition to college
• Transfer

In addition to HECA, I am a member of NACAC (National Association of College Admissions Counseling), WACAC (Western Association of College Admissions Counseling), and NCAG (National College Affordability Group). I have an MA in Education from San Francisco State University and a Certificate in College Admissions and Career Planning from UC Berkeley.
