WHY ME?

Since 2014 I have been assisting students and families through the college search, application and financial aid process. I first became “hooked” on Higher Ed a few years earlier, trying to answer my sons’ questions as they navigated the college process as students at Reno High School: where, like most public high schools, college counseling resources are scarce due to high student-to-counselor caseloads.


The more that I learned the more questions I had…so I enrolled in a graduate College Counseling Certification Program at UCLA Extension which filled the holes that my personal experience left. My practicum led me to Reno High School where I began a College Club in 2014 and then was hired full-time in 2015. I had the benefit at Reno High School of working with an array of students with different backgrounds and goals. I left the Washoe County School District in 2020 to focus my energy on private consulting and to more fully support under-resourced students.

My professional experience, outside of Higher Ed, is as a marketer, working in advertising in San Francisco, and entrepreneur, starting and managing a corporate gift business (as well as co-founding Race178 with my husband Eric). My passion is helping students find their exciting next step by giving them the confidence and courage to explore what is out there.
