Finding the Right Fit, Together

Students & Families

Personalized Admissions Guidance for Every Step of the Journey

Choosing and applying to private schools, boarding schools, or college is a major decision for students and families — and the process can often feel confusing, high-stakes, and overwhelming. At Athenaeum Advisory, I provide clear, student-centered guidance to help families navigate admissions with confidence, clarity, and a sense of ease.

As an alumna of Groton School, Wellesley College, and a former boarding school teacher and coach, I understand both sides of the admissions experience — what schools are looking for and what students need to succeed. My approach combines strategic insight with a personal touch, ensuring every student feels supported and every family feels informed.

How I Support Students & Families

• Admissions Strategy Sessions
  We begin by clarifying goals, exploring school options, and mapping out a realistic admissions timeline tailored to your child’s needs.

• Application & Essay Coaching
  From brainstorming to final polish, I guide students through essays, personal statements, and supplemental questions — helping them highlight their authentic voice, strengths, and potential.

• Interview Preparation
  With mock interviews and feedback, students gain confidence, learn how to present themselves effectively, and practice answering questions with clarity and poise.

• Ongoing Comprehensive Support
  For families seeking more hands-on guidance, I offer packages that include full application management, essay and interview coaching, and parent support from start to finish.

Why Families Choose Athenaeum Advisory

Every student is unique, and so is every admissions journey. My role is to simplify the process, reduce stress, and empower students to present the best version of themselves. Families appreciate my ability to balance strategy with empathy — creating an experience that is not only effective but also meaningful and manageable.

Whether you’re applying to a top New England boarding school, selective day school, or a range of colleges, my goal is the same: to help students find the right fit and feel proud of their applications.
