I’ve dedicated my career to helping teenagers and their families find their way through big transitions. I’m an Arizona native and earned my bachelor’s degree in Family Studies and Human Development from the University of Arizona, where I also worked in the Office of Admissions. After graduation, I spent time at an in-patient behavioral treatment facility for teenage girls, which informs my work to this day. I eventually returned to UA, supporting incoming freshmen and their families through orientation and the transition to college life.

I hold a master’s degree in Higher Education from Northern Arizona University and a master’s in Family and Human Development from Arizona State University. I also earned a Certificate in College Counseling from UC San Diego and continue to invest in ongoing professional development. In March 2025, I became a Certified Educational Planner (CEP), the highest certification in my field.

I love getting to blend my background in education, adolescent development, and family dynamics to guide students and families through the college admissions process with clarity and confidence.
