  • I began my career in college advising in 1993 at Ingraham High School where I spent six years helping students create and implement their post-secondary educational plans.

  • In 1999 Chief Sealth High School hired me to create a College and Career Center that would become a central focus for the school's transformation plan and was the heart of the school.

  • Working together with teachers and staff, I helped all of the students develop an educational plan which included going to college right out of high school.

  • Some of the activities I led included;

  • developing strong relationships with colleges and admissions officers,

  • bringing representatives from colleges all over the country to talk directly to students,

  • presenting interactive college admissions workshops to every class in ninth through twelfth grades,

  • organizing an innovative campus visitation plan for the entire junior class,

  • helping students explore college possibilities and find their right fit,

  • publishing a comprehensive scholarship bulletin every three weeks,

  • bringing in outside resources such as NELA to help all seniors apply for financial aid.

  • Within two years, the percentage of seniors accepted and enrolling into four-year colleges rose 40%. I left Chief Sealth after five years to become an independent college advisor.

Utilizing the skills I developed while working with students in the schools, I independently provide individualized college advising for students and families.
