About

With over a decade of combined experience as an independent consultant and as a licensed school counselor in a nationally ranked International Baccalaureate World School, I have supported hundreds of students’ search, application, and matriculation process into selective and highly selective institutions across the United States, Canada, and Europe. I possesses a deep knowledge of high school education systems and how students can best navigate and collaborate with their school-based professionals who need to support their post-secondary processes from the school side. Based in Calgary, Alberta, I provide students and families the opportunity to work locally with someone who understands the unique educational and cultural contexts of Alberta and how to best leverage and articulate these contexts in admissions applications. In addition, I work with students and families across Canada, the United States, and around the world in support of finding the best fitting schools and submitting the most authentic and strongest applications possible.
