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. Most recently, I was a board member and president of New England Dance Theater.

As the mother of four children ages 21-30, I have experience with the college admissions process personally and professionally. I understand how time-consuming and stressful the process can be and have made decreasing families’ anxiety level my number one goal. At one point, my four children attended four different schools in four different school systems, which heightened my awareness 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 during the college search and once the student arrives on campus. I hold a Certificate as an Independent Educational Consultant from UC Irvine, am an Associate Member of the IECA, attend conferences, and visit numerous campuses annually. 

Along with my husband and four children, I’ve called lower Fairfield County, Connecticut, my home for 30 years. During much of that time, I’ve been an active volunteer, including several years teaching religious education and working with New Canaan Mounted Troop, where I was involved with the teen leadership program. 

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.
