I am an active member of a number of professional associations in college admissions and counseling, including the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), the Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA) and the Westchester-Putnam-Rockland Counseling Association (WPRCA). I am a graduate of IECA's Practices and Principles Training Institute and adhere to IECA's Principles of Good Practice. Since it is important to remain current, I frequently attend national conferences and participate in professional exchanges that provide the latest information on admission policies, practices, trends and developments. I also regularly visit colleges and meet with admissions officers to learn about each school's culture, educational programs, institutional priorities and admissions practices.

I have worked as an educational administrator at Columbia University, Kentucky State University and Northeastern University. My work in the central administration of those institutions has given me a unique vantage point from which to understand and interpret changing institutional and educational policies and practices. I am also attuned to the complex role that enrollment management has increasingly played in college admissions.

I hold a B.A. in Sociology and Human Development from Colby College and an M.B.A. from Northeastern University. I was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for my position as the Executive Assistant to the President of Kentucky State University.

Articles that I have written have been published in Insights (the Newsletter of IECA), the NYSACAC Quarterly Newsletter, The Journal News, The Sound and Town Report, The Globe (a high school student newspaper) and online at the Larchmont Gazette and The Loop. In addition to my work with clients, I am active in efforts to reform and make the process of college admissions more educationally based and less stressful.
