About Me

Dynamic College Admissions Consulting & Strategic Essay Mentorship

With over 30 years of professional teaching experience, I help ambitious high schoolers transform complex academic journeys into standout college applications. Based in Newtown, Connecticut, my practice provides expert educational consulting tailored to busy, driven students navigating highly selective admissions, unique educational paths, and the nuances of non-traditional or homeschool curriculums.

My approach balances absolute organization with compassionate, teen-centric support. As a veteran educator specializing in writing and English Language Arts, I know how to meet busy teenagers exactly where they are. I help them cut through application anxiety, streamline their hectic schedules, and uncover their authentic voices to craft compelling college essays and competitive scholarship applications that speak powerfully to selection committees.

Our Core Specializations:

Scholarship Strategy: Guiding students through the scholarship application process to maximize institutional aid and external funding opportunities.

My philosophy is rooted in helping students find their genuine institutional fit, ensuring their final application showcases exactly why they belong on that campus.
