About Me

Navigating college admissions has become increasingly complex and stressful for students and families. I provide personalized college admissions counseling grounded in more than 25 years of experience working inside college admission offices and at highly regarded independent schools.

Based in Los Angeles and working with families nationwide, I support students across a wide range of academic paths, with a particular specialty in college admissions counseling for dancers and visual artists. My background as a former admissions professional gives families an insider’s understanding of how applications are actually read, how context is evaluated, and how colleges assess fit beyond grades and test scores.

I work closely with students to develop thoughtful college lists, clear application strategies, and authentic personal narratives. For dancers and visual artists, I offer specialized guidance on BFA and BA pathways, artistic supplements, portfolios, auditions, and prescreens, helping students navigate both the creative and academic demands of the process with confidence.

My approach is intentionally calm, ethical, and student-centered. I work with a limited number of families each year to ensure highly individualized attention, clear timelines, and transparent communication. Parents value having a trusted partner who brings perspective, structure, and clarity to a high-stakes process.

With deep experience in independent school contexts, selective admissions, and creative pathways, I help students make informed, confident choices about where they will thrive — academically, artistically, and personally.
