Biography

I have been working with college students on their writing since I was a student, first at Northwestern University and then at the University of Michigan, where I earned my Education degree with High Honors. Since then, I have worked with many populations of students, including homeschoolers, students with learning differences, and the gifted. I am a former Chair of the Gifted Youth Committee of American Mensa and also co-lead the Homeschooling Mensans special interest group. I am the past Scholarship Chair for Mensa of Wisconsin, a Director of the Mensa of Wisconsin Foundation and a Trustee of the Mensa Education and Research Foundation.

I am a member of the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA), the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC), and their Wisconsin affiliate (WACAC). I subscribe to HECA standards of good practice, as well as the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice (SPGP). I hold a Certificate in College Admissions Counseling through UCLA (with distinction) and continue to advise students and their families on their best strategies to successfully get to college, and the skills they will need to stay successful once they get there.

My students have been accepted to Harvard, Penn, Georgetown, Duke, Williams, West Point, Notre Dame, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Stanford and Yale, among others. I'm currently working with clients locally, across the country, and around the world via email, text and Skype. I'd love to answer your questions about the college admissions process!
