With over three decades dedicated to shaping young minds, I bring a wealth of expertise to my role as an Independent Educational Consultant. Armed with a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Point Loma Nazarene University, supplemented by postgraduate studies at Cal State San Marcos, and capped with certification from UC Irvine's Independent Education Consultant program, I'm deeply committed to guiding students on their transformative academic and career journeys. Leveraging my extensive background, I’ve had the privilege of assisting students with diverse academic and extracurricular interests, showcasing my versatility in navigating the college search process. 

 

My personal triumph is reflected in my two grown children, each of whom is enjoying successful, exciting, and rewarding college experiences. As a parent of two college students, I understand the specific challenges and guidance needed to navigate the intricacies of college admissions. With genuine empathy and support, I will share knowledge for sound decision-making, find colleges that are a great fit, and help your family discover joy along the way. Beyond my professional endeavors, I derive joy from hanging out at the beach with my husband, cheering for my son's collegiate baseball team, watching my daughter's university stage performances, and exploring the Caribbean.

​

Above all, my greatest asset lies in my ability to forge genuine connections with students. My multifaceted experiences, both professionally and personally, uniquely qualify me to offer invaluable insights and guidance to families embarking on the journey through higher education. Thank you for considering University of YOU! for your college counseling needs.
