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 as well as a counselor certified at Berkeley, I have developed a multi-step process, helping students get into local colleges, art schools, and Ivy Leagues.

​

Now I serve as an instructor of graduate-level teachers at NDNU, training educators.

​

I can help you move in the right direction as you pivot toward a new path in your life.​
