“I look forward to putting my knowledge and expertise to work for you and your family!”

About me…
After twenty-two years as a school counselor and administrator in the Greenwich Public Schools, I’m now sharing my expertise directly with students and their families. In addition to my experience in Greenwich Connecticut, I’ve also worked as a counselor and program leader at two private college prep high schools. I enjoy collaborating with students and parents, especially through the process of post-high school planning and college admissions. I love guiding students to discover and feel good about their strengths and interests, and helping them make the most of their time in high school. Please see my resume for details about my professional experience, certifications and memberships.
I’m here to help students and parents find the work of the college admissions process more manageable and less stressful. There is joy to be found in this experience!
