My approach is centered on collaboration with the students and their families to ensure that their best qualities and achievements are showcased in the application. I understand the significance of finding the right college for each student, where they can flourish and enjoy a meaningful college experience. As such, I strive to personalize my services to meet each student's unique needs and provide guidance and support throughout the entire journey.

My journey into college admissions began after my sons headed off to college. Having spent eight years actively supporting students and volunteering in our local school district, I knew I wanted to stay connected with education and continue making a difference in my community.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations from UC Davis—Go Aggies!—and earned a College and Career Planning Certificate from UC Berkeley. As a member of professional organizations like WACAC and IECA, I am deeply committed to ethical work in this space. Today, I guide students privately, through Matchlighters, and at both Las Lomas and Campolindo High Schools. Outside of work, I enjoy quality time with my family, our little dog Baxter, and indulging in reading, researching, pickleball, travel, and painting whenever I can.

Above all, I find great joy in aiding students through the admissions journey, helping them shape their personal brand, and uncovering their true potential.
