For my entire professional life, I have helped students identify and achieve their college aspirations. Starting my career at Holy Cross, I was fortunate to learn how a highly selective liberal arts college recruits and admits students, including Holy Cross' all-staff Committee system, during which the entire staff votes on each applicant's decision. After three years, I leapt at the opportunity to work for my alma mater: Three years at Boston College was further education into highly selective admissions -- but this time, it meant reviewing 1,500+ applications from my US and international territories solo; I needed to know my schools, my applicant pool, and be confident in how I gave decisions. 

After six years, I pursued a career outside of higher education. As fate would have it, one month into my new job, I was recruited to work for a private college consulting firm. I took on this second job for over five years, gaining incredibly valuable experience "on the other side of the desk," advising students from 9th-12th grade on their applications to every type of school: Ivy League, highly selective colleges and universities, sought-after flagship state universities, and the many others that make up the numerous post-secondary options.
