Experienced College Counseling & Advising

Many students and their families find the college admission process filled with stress and confusion. With thousands of schools to choose from, how do you find the right college? Given the level of competition among high school students seeking admission to college, how do you ensure that your child has the best possible chance of gaining admission to his or her first choice?

My background in admissions at the University of Virginia and years of experience as a counselor—in an independent school and on my own—have given me a unique perspective on the college admission process. I’ve seen it from all sides,  and I understand how to best appeal to the institutional needs of colleges. If you’re concerned about how your child might capitalize on his strengths and passions on an application, my perspective will be invaluable to you.

• Identify colleges best suited to your child’s interests and talents

• Develop academic & extracurricular programs to appeal to selective colleges
