I joined College Coach after many years in independent school and college admissions. Over the course of a decade, I worked in admissions at three independent schools in the Boston area. Later, I earned my master’s degree in education while working part-time in MIT’s undergraduate admissions office.

After graduating, I spent a year as an outside reader reviewing hundreds of applications for the University of Virginia, where I read applications for all majors within the College of Arts and Sciences.

Most recently, I worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Brandeis University, where I managed first-year and transfer selection processes, athletic recruitment, and awarding fellowships and merit aid. In addition, I volunteered annually with Scholar Match, guiding high school students through the college application process. Through this work I learned to meet each student where they are in the college search process and provide clear guidance and support.
