What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Throughout my career, I have helped families navigate the often complex pathways of U.S. education. From curriculum planning for middle-school students to summer planning for beginning high-schoolers to college searches for seniors, my goal is always to find the best possible fit, helping each student reach their highest potential. I also teach literature and writing to help students communicate effectively, develop critical thinking skills, and express themselves well. -

Hobbies and interest
I love literature, popular culture, and writing. My dissertation was on Cold War culture, so I have a particular fascination with the mid-twentieth century. Lately, I have also been very much enjoying popular music and have had fun going to concerts. -
