My background as a guidance counselor and basketball coach has enabled me to offer a unique service as an independent educational consultant, specializing in guiding student-athletes and families through the college admissions and athletic-recruiting processes. My goal is to match student-athletes with appropriate colleges that best fit their academic, athletic and social needs and desires.
