About Me

Why did I became a college planning consultant?

I’ve been involved in higher education for most of my life. I spent many years as a student, and even longer as a professional in higher ed.

I started my college journey by earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I continued on to earn both a Master’s in Higher Education Administration and a Ph.D. in Post Secondary Education. So you can believe me when I say I empathize with the possibilities and joys of student life!

I was happy working at a university as an academic advisor, program advisor, and student success and retention coordinator but began feeling worried about the new students coming into orientation. I saw more and more students arriving without a plan.

Students chose majors they were not academically prepared for and their transcript suffered because of it.

Too many students were in the wrong major—no congruency between their aptitudes, interests and major choice. Again, their transcript and sense of direction suffered.

With the transfer rate at upwards of 40%, it can also be assumed that too many students chose the wrong college.

Without a plan or sense of direction, these same college students quickly became anxious and stressed. Many dropped out, transferred out, or failed out—all because they didn't properly plan for college.

I became a college planning consultant because I knew I could help students be competitive college admissions applicants, find their future college home, and have a sense of confidence that they're on the right academic track.

What do I love most about being a college planning consultant?

I love helping students discover their strengths and passions. Together, we journey through a process of self-discovery, empowerment, and personal growth. The goal is to discover exactly what types of colleges, majors, and careers will be the most fulfilling for each student.

Once we achieve that, we know what to search for. My friends like to call me the “research queen,” and for good reason. I can stay up all night researching colleges, academic programs, campus life, you name it.

Every student I work with is my top priority, and I promise to be fully dedicated to finding the right college options for you.

My greatest satisfaction is watching my students start college filled with confidence. They’ve gone through the college planning process, they know their strengths and interests, and they’re excited about their future.

That’s why I love being a college planning consultant.
