About Meri

Exploring  and applying to college should be a fun and exciting endeavor as students learn more about themselves and the options for their future.  
 

In 2021 I earned a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA, awarded with Distinction.  I hold a BS in Public Administration from the University of Southern California and an MBA from Boston University. I have 20 years of experience as a management consultant, served 10 years on school parent boards at all school levels, and I am a CASA (court-appointed special advocate) for children in the foster care system. 

Leveraging my peer network,  associate membership with IECA, membership in the WOW writing community,  PNACAC, and attendance at over 60 college admissions sessions and over 50 campus visits, I’ll help identify best-fit schools for your student and coach them through the application and admissions process.

My combined experiences provide a unique opportunity to use my project management skills to assist students and families juggling the multifaceted aspect of admissions and to provide deep research and counsel to students as they complete their college applications. College admissions is stressful, but it doesn't have to be if you have the right consultant guiding the way.
