Counseling Philosophy:
"My goal for my students is for them to be happy and successful at the university they choose. I’m a firm believer in a best-fit philosophy and approach to applying to college. This doesn't mean that students don't apply to a dream school or want a well-known, high-ranked universities, but it means that a college list is balanced and reflects the student's academic profile, and the personality and values of the student and parent. After working with such a diverse student body, I know that success looks different to each individual student. And connecting with students, learning who they are, their hopes and dreams, is the key to a successful counselor-student relationship.”​
