ABOUT

As an Independent Educational Consultant, I provide students and families with a structured, affordable, and stress-free strategy for navigating the college search. By blending data-driven research with a student’s personal preferences and a family’s financial goals, we work together to build a list of "best-fit" schools.

Comprehensive Guidance Every Step of the Way

From selecting high school courses and navigating standardized testing to helping students craft standout essays and managing applications, I provide the expertise needed to stand out. I also offer specialized advice for student-athletes aiming for the NCAA level. Once the acceptances and financial aid packages arrive, I help you compare the data to find the one “great fit” school that meets your academic and financial needs.

The Expedition Philosophy

The Expedition Admissions Consulting tagline is: “Guiding you through the college admissions process.” To me, guiding is not hand-holding. It is about empowering students with the research, assignments, and self-reflection tools they need to take charge of their own future. My goal is to build mutual trust quickly, ensuring we work as a team to achieve the best possible results.

Flexible, Virtual Support

Plans are multi-year, comprehensive, and tailored to each family’s specific needs.

Note for Future Applicants: To better serve students across all regions with maximum flexibility, all services will be provided virtually starting with the High School Class of 2028.
