I provide personalized guidance to students and families on the educational journey—most commonly in the college admissions process, but also for K–12 school placement, transfer admissions, or specialized programs (e.g., gap year, LD/ADHD support, summer programs). I work independently from the school and focus on student strengths, interests, and passions.

I love getting to know students and supporting them through every step of their high school journey. Whether we begin working together in 9th or 10th grade, or later on in junior or senior year, my approach is always personal, thoughtful, and tailored to your needs.

Regardless of when we start, my goal is always to build a strong and meaningful relationship with both the student and the family. I offer guidance on course selection, extracurricular choices, and testing strategies—helping students make confident, informed decisions as they grow and discover their interests.

If we are connecting in 11th or 12th grade, we’ll jump right into the college admission process with a clear, supportive plan. I’ll help you build a well-balanced college list, and work closely with the student to make sure their applications and essays reflect who they are—their strengths, their story, and what makes them stand out.

My goal is to make this process less stressful and more meaningful, while helping students find colleges where they’ll truly thrive.

I live in the Los Angeles area. I am grateful for Zoom, which has made it possible for me to work with students anywhere in the world. For those in the LA area, I am happy to make myself available to meet in person if that is your preference. 

I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with students with a variety of interests and learning profiles. I have worked with dancers, soccer players, baseball players, vocalists, artists, aspiring engineers and chemists, and many, many students who were still discovering their passions and interests and were honestly unsure of what they were going to major in. I love hearing where students are on their journey to discovering what their future holds. Some of the schools my students have been accepted to are listed below:

Yes, I provide guidance on the financial aid process and help families understand what options are available. This includes support with the FAFSA, CSS Profile (if required), and an overview of need-based and merit-based aid. I also help students identify reputable scholarship opportunities and create a plan for applying. While I don’t fill out financial forms on your behalf, I’m here to answer questions, explain key terms, and help you stay organized and informed every step of the way.
