I graduated magna cum laude from Georgetown University with a degree in Finance and English. At Georgetown, I worked in the Alumni Office, where I spent hours talking to alums, learning about their time on campus and helping them understand how their support would benefit students and the university. I loved hearing about all the different factors individuals considered valuable in their college experience. I was also nominated for Rhodes, Marshall, and Mellon fellowships.

After college, I worked in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and boutique financial advisory firms. I was an active interviewer for many years with Georgetown’s Alumni Admissions Program, where I developed my love for listening to teens during their college application journeys. I’ve also served as president of New England Dance Theater, taught religious education classes, and volunteered with a teen leadership council.

As the mother of four children ages 24-32, I understand how time-consuming and stressful the college process can be. At one point, my four children attended four different schools in four different school systems, which heightened my belief in the importance of fit. Social, academic, learning style, financial - it all matters, and it has to be sustainable for students and families. My approach to college counseling centers around educating students and their families and prioritizing wellbeing and success. I hold a Certificate as an Independent Educational Consultant from UC Irvine, am a member of NACAC and a Professional Member of IECA. I also attend conferences and visit numerous campuses annually.

Along with my husband, four children and Bear, the best dog ever, I’ve called lower Fairfield County, Connecticut, my home for over 30 years. My fun facts are that I am an identical twin and my family consists of well over 300 people if you add up my side and my husband’s side. In my spare time, you’ll find me on a jog or the treadmill, reading on the beach, or eating french fries in the sunshine.
