My work is informed by solid background in industry and by ongoing visits to engineering programs in California and throughout the US.

Description of Experience : Currently I consult for students in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area interested in engineering, and offer support services (typically presentations on engineering) to local counselors.

Since earning my UC Berkeley College Admissions certificate, I continued with ongoing volunteer activities in college admissions including working with College Track, Girls Inc., The EngineerGirl National Essay Competition, and various local Bay Area schools to speak about engineering and admissions . For 6 years I also served as a volunteer MIT Alumni admissions interviewer each year with a caseload of 8-12 students annually.
