I know how it feels to be lost in the college admissions process. When I think about how much I longed for mentorship, coaching, guidance, and accountability while I was beginning my college admissions process, I realize how powerful providing such opportunities for students can be. After all, this process culminates in one of the biggest financial and life choices a young person faces. It does not have to be a struggle or a random decision.

With over twenty years as an educator, college professor, and–now–an Associate Certified Life Coach, college planner, and educational consultant, I have been privileged to help hundreds of students successfully prepare and submit successful applications for college and graduate school. As a former professional stage performer, I specialize in working with artists and creatives–especially performing artists–preparing portfolios. With a decade of experience in international education, I thrive working with international students from Japan and China who are interested in studying in the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe. I connect with Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and other Indigenous students pursuing higher education.

Originally from the New York City area, I am proud to be a global citizen bridging and moving among different cultures. I am proud to have inherited such rich cultural knowledge and wisdom from the places I've called home. Although I am now bicoastal–based in Honolulu, San Francisco, and Montclair, NJ, I work with students anywhere in the world.
