ABOUT
I love working with students to sort out what their passions are, and how to pursue them. It’s about discovering yourself, and planning how to get there. We’ll be charting out meaningful experiences such as work, travel, conversations and reflection-looking at whatever is meaningful and real in your life, and making sense of it as you look toward your future. My whole career revolves around this work! Throughout my work in secondary and higher education, I’ve known and interacted with close to 3000 families as they’ve explored the sometimes overwhelming, but exciting range of educational desires, and paths, before them. Through it all, I’ve made sure to explore my own interests, and I encourage you to do the same! I know it can be overwhelming, but I’m here to clear away the clutter.
Education
It’s important to know my journey educationally. Here you go! I’d be happy to explore my path and choices with you.
