Hi! I’m Abby. 

For over two decades, I've supported hundreds of students and families on the journey to find their college match. Whether you're exploring affordable options, considering international education, or aiming for a competitive university, I'm here to provide practical guidance and personalized attention.

My Unique Expertise:

• Former UC Berkeley Admissions Reader: I understand exactly what makes applications stand out.

• Proven Leader of college counseling programs in Bay Area public schools. I’m an experienced educator who knows the in’s and out’s of how high schools work, and I’ve led educational programs in K12, university, EdTech, and nonprofit settings.

• International Education Specialist excited to introduce students to opportunities in Canada, the UK, and the EU. I’ve lived and studied abroad, and I’m constantly building my knowledge of international options.

• Parent of three. I’ve navigated the college admissions process with two of my own children, who had vastly different interests and educational goals.

I hold a BA in Geography from UC Berkeley, a Master’s in Education from San Francisco State University, and a Certificate in College Admissions and Career Planning from UC Berkeley.

I’m also a member of the Higher Education Consultant’s Association (HECA), the Western Association of College Admissions Counseling (WACAC), and the National Association of College Admissions Counseling (NACAC). Through these professional associations I stay current on issues and trends in higher education, and commit to upholding the Standards and Ethics of each organization.

I'm here to make this journey clear, affirming and empowering, and I look forward to getting to know you!
