RESUME

College Admissions Consultant & Educational Coach

Founder & Consultant, COLLEGE BOUND COACHING

November 2019- Present

* Built a thriving college admission practice from the ground up, entirely through referrals, trust, and results.

* Design individualized admission strategies for each student — school list, essay narrative, activity framing, and application positioning rooted in their authentic story, not a template.

* Coach students through the emotional arc of the process: from the anxiety of junior year through the complexity of decisions, with honest guidance and steady presence throughout.

* Partner with parents as active, informed participants — keeping families aligned, expectations realistic, and the student's voice at the center of every decision.

ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR, SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY

February 2024- present

* Work inside a major university's enrollment and advising ecosystem — providing a direct window into how institutions evaluate students, manage applications, and make admission decisions.

* Consistently exceed student communication benchmarks, reflecting the same student-first approach that drives my coaching practice.

* Improved application-to-enrollment conversions through proactive, personalized outreach, translating directly into a stronger application strategy for my coaching clients.

EDUCATOR, THE QUINCY PUBLIC SCHOOLS & MANCHSTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

September 1997 - January 2021

* Taught English, Reading, and Mathematics, differentiation instruction across a wide range of learning needs and backgrounds.

* Built the trust-based relationships with students and families that remain the foundation of how I work today, listening first, advising second.

* Developed the instincts for meeting students where they are--academcially, emotionally, and developmentally, that no certification can teach.
