Helping students and families worldwide navigate the college admissions process
I have been helping students and families prepare for and navigate the US college admissions process since 2016. I work with students to examine their educational objectives and aid them in identifying and applying to colleges and universities that are good fits -- academically, geographically, financially and experientially. The goal is to make the whole process less stressful and to maximize students' chances of having attendance choices among institutions where they will be happy and challenged.
I live just outside of Boston, in Wellesley, Massachusetts. I work with both domestic and international clients in-person and virtually, using Zoom and Google Docs.

How to get started: Look through this website and then email me to set up a consult. If I have availability, I can Zoom with you and your student (together or separately), to confirm that we are a good match. 30 minute initial meet-and-greets are free of charge, or you can choose to schedule a New Family or College Process Consult of up to 2 hours.
