About Kari

A Guide Who's Been
Inside the Classroom.

Most college consultants have never stood in front of a college preparatory classroom. I have — for over a decade. I've watched students wrestle with applications, essays, and self-doubt from the inside. That experience is what I bring to every family I work with.

I hold a Master of Liberal Arts from Johns Hopkins University and have taught AP US History, AVID College Readiness, and honors coursework across public and private schools. I know what rigorous applications look like — and I know how to help your student build one.

The college application process doesn't have to be overwhelming. Every student has a story worth telling — my job is to help them find it, shape it, and share it with the schools that are the right fit.
