About Me


Helping You Find The “Right” College
As an experienced college counselor and essay- writing coach, I understand the importance of finding a college that is the right fit for each student. I assist students and families in evaluating colleges across various aspects to create a list of schools that best align with their academic, social, and financial requirements.​

Setting Your Student Up For Success
My expertise of education has allowed me to create a unique approach to helping college-bound students reach their goals. I provide valuable guidance and support while encouraging students to take ownership of their college journey. With my knowledge, skill, and commitment to each student's success, I am confident our work together will open the door to a bright future.

Simplifying The Process
I understand that the college admission process can be overwhelming for many families. That is why my clients receive personalized attention and assistance from the very beginning. I provide resources to help families simplify and streamline the college search and application process.

And I Love To Make It Fun!
I’ve been a California girl my whole life, growing up in Los Angeles before moving to San Diego. I love spending time with my family, walking the dog, hitting the gym, going to concerts, reading, and traveling all over the globe. Oh, and I also love sleep. And avocados.

Education & Credentials
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Communication Studies from UCLA and a Certificate in Educational Consulting from the University of California, Irvine. I am also a professional member of Independent Educational Consultants Association.
