ABOUT ME

I worked for almost three decades as a data analytics manager.  My work focused on getting accurate data and insights to inform major government and corporate decisions. I also developed strong communications skills through writing and editing thousands of contracts, speeches, reports, press releases, website pages, and other documents.

Applying to college is both a science and an art. I can help you filter through all the data, and also help you craft your unique story and make it shine across your applications. You got this!

WHY I AM DOING THIS

When my oldest child was a High School Junior, we paid over $5,000 for a college coach that, frankly, provided very little help.

Because we were disillusioned and saw minimal value from this advisor, I did a lot of research and developed my own database of the top colleges and universities.  Using this data, my son identified his Best Fits and was accepted into 100% of them. 

I now help others cut through the process, max their applications, and win acceptance to many of their Best Fits.
