About Me

As the Founder and Executive Director of Beyond the Applause, LLC, I have been providing personalized and comprehensive higher education planning and career exploration services for high school and college students for over 18 years. I am passionate about helping students discover their strengths, interests, and goals, and finding their ideal matches for living, learning, and success beyond high school and college.

With a certificate in college admissions counseling from UCLA and a background in business administration and dance, I have a unique perspective and expertise in guiding students through the complex and competitive college admissions and career planning process. I offer a wide range of services, including curriculum and activity planning, career assessments, summer enrichment programs, scholarship planning, financial aid clarification, resume and cover letter guidance, essay development, and presentations for various audiences. I also visit colleges across the US, attend and participate in professional associations, and network with colleagues around the world to stay updated on the latest trends and opportunities in higher education and career development.
