Counseling Philosophy:

"I believe that every student can thrive in an educational environment where there is an individualized approach to learning. It is a privilege to encourage and support students one-on-one throughout the entire college admissions process. I love helping students showcase their special interests, passions, and talents on college applications. Every student is unique and has a personal story to share that will resonate with others."​​
