About PCC
Inspiring College Futures
After earning my Bachelor’s from Berkeley and my Master’s in Education from UCLA,
I dedicated myself to working with youth.
​
For over 25 years, I have guided students through the application process, editing over 10,000 essays. I have also taught 4 AP classes (94% pass rate) while promoting diversity.
​
A member of the IECA, I have developed a multi-step process that has helped students gain acceptance from local colleges, arts institutions, and Ivy Leagues.
I can help you move in the right direction as you pivot toward a new path in your life.​
