About
I am a highly skilled college counselor with 18 years of experience advising students as they reach for their college dreams. As a Director of College Counseling in several elite schools, I have overseen this life-changing process for over one thousand students taking both AP and IB curricula. I have developed and led college advising programs in highly selective schools such as Hunter College High School (NYC) and Léman Manhattan Preparatory School (NYC), and have personally led over 400 students to Ivy, Ivy+, and other elite college admissions. I specialize in both US college admissions and global university admissions. I have visited over 100 college campuses in the United States, speaking with admissions committee members about their decision-making processes and what makes a student truly stand out in an application. My expertise encompasses all aspects of the college search and application process, from helping students to choose courses and extracurricular activities to building college lists and writing powerful essays. I am a regular speaker and presenter at college admission conferences in the US, Europe, and Asia.

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!
