I know what it's like.

It wasn't that long ago (okay, 32 years) when I became a professional juggler, painstakingly managing the application process for elite colleges and numerous scholarships on a typewriter "computer" with 30 characters of forgiveness.  Then again, for business school!  The excitement, anxiety, and exhaustion are fresh in my mind.

 

It's also because I care deeply about my students, and I'm fresh off this process with three children who each took a very different path to their dream school. My unique perspective—as an elite-college applicant, a parent navigating complex family dynamics, and a professional with insider admissions knowledge—equips me to guide today's applicants through this transformative process with expertise and empathy. 

It's an honor and a privilege to be your application mentor.
