I have dedicated my career to advising high school students and their families on the intricacies of selective college admissions and financial aid.
​
I was a Senior Admissions Officer (AO) for Duke University where I read and evaluated applications from almost a dozen states (Texas was my largest territory, which is where I spend the majority of my time now). I’ve had the privilege of working on all four sides of the desk--in high schools, in admissions & financial aid offices, in CBOs, and as an IEC--which has given me a deep understanding of how admissions trends evolve over time. I help students elevate their applications by helping them identify their point(s) of distinction.
Through my collective experience, I've read over 10K applications.​ In the last five years, my students have been accepted to all of the T50 U.S. universities, and 100% of my students have been accepted to 1 of their top 3 choices.

I am a registered member of NACAC, and I frequently present on highly selective admissions to students and parents in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
