About

I am a school counselor in Providence, RI. I love helping students figure out the best post-secondary opportunity. My areas of expertise are college searches, first generation opportunities, financial aid/scholarship, college essay help, and other potential application challenges. I have been working with college bound students for more than 10 years. Prior to working with high school students, I supported adult learners find their career pathways in alternative adult education. While in college, I interned in the Women's Center where I began doing career and academic counseling. My hobbies are travel, spending time outdoors, and spending plenty of time with my family and furbabies.

My process

As a counselor, my process is one that holistically supports students and looks at all facets of a student's life including goals, desired career pathways, and other important factors like family, location, finances, etc. Lastly, and most importantly, a student's voice is central to the work I do. I enjoy getting to know a student's ideas for the future and supporting them as they go through the application process.
