Welcome! I’m a Massachusetts-based Ph.D. educator with over twenty years of experience in English instruction, education administration, and college counseling. I have a B.A. in English and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, an M.S. in Counseling and Student Personnel from Indiana State University and a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from Boston College.

I developed this college advising service to support students and families through what can be an overwhelming and deeply personal process, and bring empathy, insight, and creativity, while making sure that your student is truly understood.

I’m not just an advisor, I’m a listener, a nurturer, and a dedicated partner in helping students discover the paths that best fit their talents, goals, and personalities. My guidance is rooted in research, experience, instinct, and honesty and I take the time to truly listen, understand each student’s story, and guide students toward colleges and universities where they can thrive.
