About Amy

For years, I have enjoyed helping young people find their voice by encouraging them to create meaningful, personal essays for their college applications. Once I understood the significance of creating a consistent and holistic application, I transitioned to provide full-service college advising.

After working as a public affairs strategist and marketing writer for many years, I was excited to discover my professional experience translates well when helping to identify good fit colleges and develop a smart application strategy, as well as connect and communicate successfully with young people on this very special journey.

I live in Burlingame and have two kids in college at very different schools - the United States Naval Academy and UC Santa Barbara. In my free time I enjoy playing tennis, snow skiing and spending time in the outdoors.

I have a Masters in Journalism and Public Affairs from American University, a Bachelors in English from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and a Certificate in College Admissions and Career Planning from the University of California, Berkeley. 

I am an associate member of (IECA) Independent Educational Consultants Association. I frequently attend conferences, participate in professional development webinars, and visit colleges, to continue building my knowledge in the constantly-evolving field that is college advising.
