About Me

Amanda is happy to be working with high school students and their families. She finds great reward in working with students to discover and showcase all their best attributes, easing the application process and transition to college. She believes the college search is a time of great growth and that students can emerge from the process with great self-awareness: they will be more confident in their abilities and ready to take the next phase head on.

Amanda has volunteered extensively in various education arenas: PTA, PTA Council, Glenview Education Foundation, Glenview Public Library Foundation, and the College and Career Center at Glenbrook South High School. She also takes on pro bono students annually through ScholarMatch and Matchlighter community based organizations, in hopes of expanding college accessibility.

She is an Associate Member of the IECA (Independent Educational Consultant Association), whose mission is “To promote the highest quality independent educational consulting to students and families seeking skilled, ethical, academic or therapeutic guidance; to enhance professional development; and to foster career satisfaction among members”.

Amanda lives in Glenview, Illinois with her husband, two daughters (Notre Dame Class of 2024 and Boston University Class of 2026), a son (Wake Forest Class of 2026), and her dog, Murray.
