With nearly a decade of experience as the Assistant Director of Secondary School Advising at the Carroll School in Lincoln Massachusetts, I bring proven expertise and a results-driven approach to helping families find the right-fit school for the K-PG student. My deep knowledge of New England independent day and boarding schools, as well as vocational-technical programs and public school options has enabled me to successfully guide over 300 students—each with unique goals, needs, and aspirations—through the school search and application process.

As a former expat with children in international schools, I am also well-versed in the unique challenges and opportunities of the international school experience. This knowledge allows me to support families who are managing transitions between international and U.S.-based schools or considering global educational options.

Navigating the often complex school selection and admissions process requires thoughtful expertise and partnership. Working with me on this journey begins with building a comprehensive student profile that will combine personalized data-driven insights with an in-depth understanding of your student’s strengths, challenges, and short and long-term goals. This student centered approach ensures that each family and their student has the tools and information required to take action and make confident and informed decisions.

Whether you are seeking rigorous academics, exceptional academic support, robust extracurricular opportunities, or all three and more, my holistic, family-first approach ensures your student’s individual needs are met. With a focus on collaboration and empowering families, I look forward to working together to help your student find their best fit school and educational experience. Contact me today to begin this transformative journey.
