Biography

I make students more competitive navigators of the higher ed marketplace by helping them fully communicate their value to schools. In seven years of guiding students towards admissions success, I’ve found that applicants who shine authentically have the best edge. Yet no matter how radiant the student, properly conveying their character to an admissions team can be daunting. This wild-card era of admissions demands strategic vision impartial to higher ed’s web of profits, scores and rankings. Together, we will demystify the arena, clarify your goals, assemble your strategy, and execute.

In previous years, my college counseling clients have been admitted to many selective colleges like NYU, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Rice, Penn, Georgia Tech, and the UCs, among others.

My own love for writing as part of the college admissions process started in the pages of books, in the city that practically invented them. Although I am originally from Boston and have always been inspired by its charm, when considering college I gravitated towards another mecca of the written word: Los Angeles, California. Forfeiting a family legacy at both MIT and Harvard to pursue storytelling, I studied animation at California Institute of the Arts. I also interned for production companies like StudioCanal (Basic Instinct, Mulholland Drive, JFK) and Valhalla Entertainment (The Terminator, The Walking Dead) before graduating to pursue indie filmmaking. Though I am also an active screenwriter and songwriter, I feel my story has come full circle. I’m still dedicated to the same pursuit that makes my hometown known around the world: asking young people to define what matters most to them and help them move towards the most meaningful path.
