About Me

I've spent 15 years as an Executive Recruiter, placing creative talent and executives at the ad agencies that build the world's most powerful brands. I learned what makes people memorable. What makes them hireable. What separates the candidates who get the job from those who don't.

As a parent, I found myself facing a different kind of placement challenge: helping my own kids get into college. We cracked the code. One is a recent UC Berkeley grad, and the other is at Vanderbilt on a full-tuition scholarship.

That's when it hit me. The same instincts that helped me spot talent could help students discover their own. The same eye for what makes someone unforgettable could help kids tell their stories with power. My English and American Literature degree from Brandeis, plus screenwriting training at UCLA, taught me that every great story has a hook. And my understanding of what employers want? That could help families choose colleges that actually launch careers.

So I became an Independent Educational Consultant. I started by volunteering with first-generation students through ScholarMatch and Matchlighters, because I believe every kid deserves a shot at their dreams. Now I work with families who can invest in private consulting, but that foundation still shapes everything I do. As an IECA member with certification through UC Irvine, I'm held to the highest ethical standards in this industry, which is crucial when you're entrusted with someone's future.

When you're investing in your child's future, you deserve someone who understands both the admissions game and the career endgame.
