Welcome to Collegiate Advising

Since 2002, I’ve had the privilege of working with college-bound students, as both an admission officer and independent educational consultant. This journey has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges and opportunities that students encounter when applying to college.

My approach is rooted in balance, support, and growth. I believe in guiding my students through a thoughtful and organized search and application process that helps them discover who they are, what they value, and where they want to go next. From course planning to final applications, I endeavor to help students and their families every step of the way.
