Expert College Advisor & Interviewer: 18 years & 100s of Elite Acceptances
I'm glad you're here! With over 18 years of experience as a college counselor, I've guided 600+ students to success in their college admissions journeys with hundreds of acceptances to elite colleges. My career began at Hunter College High School in NYC, where I helped students achieve their dreams of attending top-tier universities. I was instrumental in founding the college counseling program at Léman Manhattan Preparatory School, leading to exceptional college acceptances. As a professional college admissions interviewer and a contributing writer for admissions platforms, I possess the knowledge and experience to help you craft an exceptional application that showcases your strengths and ultimately leads to you being the one chosen among all the others. My international experience includes leading the college counseling department at elite international schools in Tokyo (IB) and Shanghai (IB/AP), where I supported students from diverse backgrounds while exploring the world. Three years ago, I pivoted to private practice to support students in this process, taking on only a handful of clients each year. Let's work together to showcase your strengths and navigate the college admissions process with ease and confidence!
