About
I have over 30 years experience in the field of education. I started my educational consulting business in 2005.
Previously, I was Director of College Counseling for five years at King Low Heywood Thomas School in Stamford, CT. As Director, I established a comprehensive college counseling program and process for the school community. I traveled extensively, visiting over 200 college campuses throughout the country and continuously networked with college counseling colleagues and college admissions officers.
Before that, I was Associate Director of College Counseling and Associate Director of Admission at King Low Heywood Thomas School. I also taught History and Social Studies at private schools in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
I earned a B.A. from Stonehill College and an M.A. from New York University in Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education.
