​I want to crack the code on college admissions as much as you do. In fact, I've been at it for decades. ​

​

​Being the daughter of an academic and raised on university campuses--so literally in the ivory tower--didn't hurt. However, my own career as an academic and admissions professional--not osmosis--has best prepared me to be your docent. During my time in the classroom at the University of Kentucky and Emory University, I engaged in student-centered learning with hundreds of high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students. In the process, I gained valuable insights into the classroom dynamics and institutional goals of two high-profile research universities.  

​

Alongside my faculty role at Emory University, I also served in leading positions in graduate and undergraduate admissions. These experiences provided a new way of interacting with and advising students and gave me the chance to strategically enhance important aspects of Emory's admissions process. Most importantly, I learned a lot about highly selective college admissions. ​

 

I now bring that expertise and experience to you. My time as an academic, admissions professional, and thought-leader in higher education has prepared me to offer you the highest-quality, student-focused guidance as you advance towards your academic and admissions goals. ​

 

When I am not sharing my admissions story or acting as your docent, I enjoy long walks with my family around our Chastain Park neighborhood and trips to the ballpark to cheer on the Braves. I also co-lead the Galloway School Fine Arts Boosters and my daughter’s Girl Scout troop. When the moment calls for it, which is almost always, I also enjoy reading, traveling, and baking.  

 

I look forward to learning your college admissions story and how I can best serve as your guide!

TL:DR

- I was kind of born for this job

- I spent roughly 20 years in the classroom and at the admissions table of two major research universities

- I root for the Braves and volunteer a lot at my daughter's school​​
