College Planning Expert 

Life Outside the Office:

Away from work, I’m happiest when there’s warm weather, sunlight, or something new to experience. Tennis and yoga are part of my regular routine, and I’m drawn to the stillness of nature, whether that’s a long walk through a local park or simply listening to music while laying in the grass. Visiting history and art museums, or nerding out over the skill and vision behind immersive art experiences, is often how I spend a Saturday morning when there's no agenda or errands.

Time with family is something I can never get enough of, especially with my nieces. One of our favorite traditions is a monthly trip to the farmers market, where they get to choose a new fruit for all of us to try together. I also enjoy experimenting with new recipes, meeting my sister for Sunday brunch, and finding inspiration online for interior decorating and home DIY projects. And no matter the season, I’ll always make time for a Christmas movie, predictable endings and all.

How I Support Clients at BridgeWise:

I support high school students and their families by guiding them through every stage of the college planning process with a strong emphasis on education and understanding. By helping students build intentional academic course plans, explore career paths, create realistic test strategies, research colleges that are a true academic and personal fit, and develop clear, authentic essays and applications, I help reduce uncertainty and overwhelm during an otherwise stressful process. Families gain a clearer picture of what options truly align with the student rather than feeling pressure to chase prestige or follow assumptions.

I also help families understand the financial side of college by walking them through financial aid award letters, explaining affordability and out of pocket costs, and showing how those numbers should factor into final decisions. This allows families to avoid surprises, make choices with confidence, and select colleges that support long term financial stability rather than creating unnecessary stress or debt.

My approach is practical and deeply personal. I take the time to understand each student’s goals, strengths, and concerns so guidance is tailored and meaningful. By breaking complex decisions into clear, manageable steps and explaining the why behind each recommendation, I help students make confident, informed choices and help families feel prepared, aligned, and secure in the decisions they are making together.
