I am a test prep specialist, private college admissions counselor, and academic tutor. Having worked with several hundred students, and with experience at both large tutoring companies and boutique firms, I bring my expertise to meet the needs of each individual student. 

​

I am a certified college counselor, having completed the Independent Educational Consulting program at the University of California, Irvine. I am a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, the Western Association for College Admission Counseling and the Bay Area Tutoring Summit, and I serve as a volunteer for the College Essay Guy's Matchlighters Scholars Program.

​​

I graduated from Bowdoin College, where worked in the Admissions Department. I'm a certified Somatic and Expressive Arts Educator from Tamalpa Institute. I was previously a test prep curriculum writer and tutor trainer. 

 

Previously I was a development specialist, with awards earned including a $110,000 grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts; the owner of a skills-training business for young adults with developmental and learning differences; and a case manager in a sober men's homeless shelter. Outside of work, I enjoy modern dance  and hiking in the redwoods.
