I began professionally working with young adults and their families in 2001 after I recieved my Masters in Social Work from Loyola University. During this time I found my true passion of helping young people discover their potential.

     In 2004, after completing my Life Coaching Certification, I worked at a small internationally recognized private program that helped students prepare for a successful college experience. Throughout these same years I was also preparing my own two daughters to launch their college careers and I became a certified College Counselor through the UCLA. 

     Being a college counselor allows me to guide and coach students to make well informed decisions as they consider their future path. Working one-on-one with a student allows time to explore their interests, abilities, achievments and challenges. 

      Each year I spend a month's time visiting college campuses, talking to admissions counselors, researching schools and programs to assure my students are making decisions based on current information. I also attend professional conferences and workshops to broaden my knowledge base and network with colleagues.
