Background
I am dedicated to empowering students to share their stories in a way that reflects creativity, strengths, and individuality. Capturing the essence of meaningful experiences, I strategically guide the student through self-discovery to encourage introspection and insights. As a result, the completed essay conveys passion and depth. I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master's degree from Harvard University. I am a proud mom of two college students. My son attends the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Social Psychology and a double minor in Sports Management and Criminology, Law, & Society on the Pre-Law track. My daughter is studying at the College of Wooster, earning majors in French/Francophone Studies and Spanish, along with minors in Russian and German. She dreams of working for the Department of State as a Foreign Service Officer.
