I empower students to craft their distinct narrative into college applications that rise above the rest in the most authentic and strategic way.
Hi, I'm Mary
You’ve found the place where students and families go to do college admissions differently. Where the overwhelming college admissions process is turned into a stress-free and simplified experience that allows for discovering your best fit colleges and inspires dream school acceptances.
Here's the good news —
A method focused on cultivating individuality and nurturing self-confidence — on discovering colleges that are not only a great academic fit, but ones where students can truly picture themselves thriving. I knew that entering this time from a place of apprehension and anxiety wasn’t the way, so I created a process grounded in opportunity, honesty and support instead.
After years of watching high school students and their families anxiously navigate the college admissions process while working in the Harvard College Admissions Office, I began to dream about a different way to approach applying to college.
I have also served as a First-Year Academic Advisor at Harvard University, and as Assistant Dean of Academic Advising at UC San Diego. I’ve reviewed and interviewed applicants from all over the world during my time working in admissions, and have had the opportunity to work with current undergraduate students as they navigate college coursework and fantastic opportunities at both public and private selective institutions.
My clients have been admitted to Harvard College, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Vanderbilt University, University of Notre Dame, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Cornell University and many more fantastic institutions. If you’re looking for exceptional support, expertise, and encouragement as you step into the next chapter of your life, you’ve found the person for the job (Hi there!)
I absolutely love being the one who gets to work with you to uncover your story, build self-confidence, discover where you wish to land next, and to ultimately share invaluable tools that will help you to create illuminating and strategic applications for your best fit colleges.
I earned my master’s degree in Higher Education Administration from Harvard University, and worked in the Harvard College Admissions Office for 4 years, where I reviewed and interviewed hundreds of applicants for admission.
