You’re probably doing enough reading these days, so I’ll give you a few quick facts about myself!

  • I have over 600 hours of internships in various college departments: financial aid, academic assistance, admissions, and career advising

  • Since I have taught SAT and ACT classes for 30 years, I understand the test and can suggest how to prep for it, and ascertain whether a student should submit scores

  • I am a private tutor and former teacher in private academy and public school

  • I am also a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA)

I’ve also written several articles that can be found on LinkedIn. Topics include resilience, youth sports, student anxiety, test optional dilemma, and more.

What is a Certified Educational Planner (CEP)?
