Every family enters the college process at a different stage. Whether beginning in 10th grade or seeking senior-year support, each program is designed to provide structured guidance, thoughtful reflection and calm confidence.
 
My work is underpinned by Carl Rogers' philosophy

educational consulting

In addition to my individual work with young adults, I value opportunities to engage with schools and universities in a consultative capacity. Having worked in public, private and international school contexts across the globe while nurturing university partnerships along the way, I have a unique view on the challenges young people face when planning for the future. My project work with schools are primarily focused on increasing exposure to higher education opportunities. My work with universities entail coaching young people as they brave uncertainty during their undergraduate studies.        

speaking engagements

Lastly, while introverted at heart, I am a passionate public speaker! Given my personal and professional background, my presentations are often rooted in mindfulness, a practice that can support individuals in making thoughtful, measured decisions throughout life. I have presented at several Council of International Schools (CIS) conferences and was a TEDx speaker in Oslo, Norway. It is worth noting that my presentations are sometimes sprinkled with humor, music, or both - all dependent on how seriously my audience takes themselves.
