I’m an independent college consultant, but my clients call me a college concierge. I believe deeply in the transformative power of college. That’s why I love helping students and their families cut through all the chatter so students can navigate the college admissions process with a clear head and focused purpose. Students like working with me because they find colleges that are great fits for them and avoid common mistakes in their applications. My goal is for students to have a successful application journey, thrive in college, graduate on time, and enter their young adulthood with confidence.

“Knowledge doesn't grow in a vacuum. Whether you work in finance or fiction writing, you can't grow if you don't challenge your status quo and expose yourself to new ideas -- and new people.” ~Rashan Dixon

First and foremost, I am a Co-Active PCC coach! I help people who are feeling stuck (at work and in life) to harness their intuition and make juicy and powerful moves into what's next for themselves. I've helped people quit their job, start a business, take a road trip, get a divorce, get a sick ass promotion, decide to have a baby, write their book! No topic is off the table for me. I want my clients to live life to the max, and I help them to define what that is, and then support them to take steps to make it happen!
