I am currently in my 28th year of working in independent schools. Shortly after graduating from the university of Georgia, with a bachelor's degree in psychology, I was hired as a dorm parent for middle school girls at a boarding school. After two years in the dorm, I headed back to UGA to obtain my master's degree in school counseling.

During my career, I have worked at three independent schools as a counselor, teacher, and administrator. I am enjoying my 11th year at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, a boarding and day school in the northeast Georgia mountains, where I serve as the Director of Counseling.

I have been married for 25 years and have one son who is a sophomore at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of students applying to college, and will soon begin the process for the fist time as the mother of a college applicant!
