Though I work with students nationwide via Zoom, many of the families I support are right here in my hometown of Austin.

A Lifelong Connection to Austin and to Its Students
|
I was born and raised in Austin and attended elementary, middle, and secondary school in the Austin Independent School District. After attending college at Boston University and spending my senior year living in Spain, I settled down in Southwest Austin.
I started working in Austin public high schools in 2002, and that’s when I realized the fulfillment of supporting students on their path to college. Over the last 23 years, I’ve empowered students across all types of schools and backgrounds, and the best part of my job has never changed—building genuine relationships. I not only enjoy helping students understand who they are, but also to explore their capabilities and the future possibilities those may lead to. I see myself as the bridge between where they are and where they could go, and that’s a role I hold with deep respect for each student's potential. |
EXTENSIVE LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
Years of experience working in the Austin community, including familiarity with the curriculum and course offerings of local high schools. I was recently recognized for my college counseling service to the Austin community by being inducted to Women's Hall of Fame by the City of Austin Mayor and City Council.

PERSONALIZED MENTORSHIP
A smaller caseload, 50-minute virtual meetings for each client, and seamless accessibility between meetings ensures that I invest the time required to provide the most individualized and thoughtful support possible.

EXTENSIVE ADMISSIONS NETWORK
Through national leadership roles and ongoing conversations with admissions officers, I offer students a perspective that’s directly from the source—grounded in trust through the relationships I’ve built across the admissions field.

If your student attends a different school—or is on a nontraditional path—I have the expertise to support them, too.
Each student’s journey is different. I don’t believe in formulas. I believe that uplifting students by increasing knowledge and agency in the process leads to successful outcomes. Students I’ve worked with in Austin have gone on to attend schools such as:
