She strives to bring a calm objective voice to the often stressful and overwhelming college admissions process, cheering students on as they discover their own strengths and interests.

She has first hand knowledge of numerous colleges and universities often visiting over 25 campuses a year. As the mother of a recent college graduate and a college freshman, she enjoys bringing all facets of her professional and personal life experiences to My College Fit.
