ABOUT ME

With nearly two decades of experience across highly selective educational institutions, I bring insider perspective and disciplined judgment to every client I serve. My background includes senior leadership roles at two of the nation’s most respected programs—serving in MBA admissions at the University of Chicago and overseeing graduate student services at the University of Notre Dame—where I was responsible for evaluating and supporting students at scale across highly selective graduate business programs, as well as directing enrollment at a highly regarded Midwestern boarding school. I don’t guess at how admissions decisions are made. I’ve been responsible for them.

Since launching my consulting practice, I’ve worked with hundreds of students and professionals navigating competitive admissions and career inflection points. My approach blends strategic rigor with authentic storytelling, helping clients present candidacies that are both compelling and credible. Whether the goal is a top-tier MBA program, a selective undergraduate institution, or a specialized graduate pathway, my guidance is grounded in real admissions experience—not speculation or trend-chasing.

This work is deeply personal to me. I consider it a privilege to partner with families and individuals during moments that carry real weight and long-term consequences. My role is not only to help clients put their strongest foot forward, but to help them approach the process with clarity, confidence, and perspective.
