HEY THERe...

My name is 

are you Ready to feel empowered by the college admissions process? 

With over 20 years of experience teaching and coaching, I help students and families navigate the college application journey with less stress and more confidence.  Authentic Applicant clients craft personal statements, supplements, and packets that reflect their unique passions, soft skills, and perspectives. These students have earned admission to all [but one] Ivy League institutions (I see you, Penn), competitive prep schools, and so many colleges and universities around the country. I'd love for you to be next.
