The college search can be anxiety ridden due to the complexities of so many college options, the competitive admissions landscape, financial considerations, and timing. I help students and their families navigate the process with confidence and success.

About Me


As Founder and Principal Consultant of MyCollegeFit, my passion is guiding students on their academic journey. I strive to bring a calm objective voice to the often stressful college admissions process, helping students discover their strengths and engage in their personal and academic interests. As an objective third party, I serve as a bridge between parent and teen.


My work experience comes from both sides of the admissions process and spans over two decades. I have first hand knowledge of numerous colleges and universities often visiting over 25 campuses a year. As the mother of two college graduates who have successfully launched, one of whom was a D-I athlete, I enjoy bringing all facets of my professional and personal life experiences to MyCollegeFit.



Highlights of my career include:


Working in undergraduate admissions at Duke University, The College of William & Mary, Dickinson College, and the University of Richmond.
Traveling extensively to high schools across the country to attract and matriculate competitive students to the above institutions, often times evaluating nearly 1,000 applications each admissions cycle.
Serving as Director of College Counseling at a college preparatory school where I worked with students through the entire college search, application and selection process.
Maintaining an extensive network of college admissions professionals and counseling colleagues by regularly attending professional conferences and touring over 25 colleges a year.
