Pre-K–8 Educational Consulting in Greater Boston & the North Shore

Planning your child’s education can bring feelings of both excitement and uncertainty. I have worked in the field of education for over 40 years, serving in varied roles in public schools, private schools, and at the college level. My work with students has spanned the years from preschool through young adulthood. I am an educational psychologist by training, and have also spent many years as a private school admissions director, head of school, and teacher. My consulting clients come from Massachusetts, and from many other locations within the US and abroad when families are relocating. I help place kids in schools that best meet their academic, social and emotional needs, whether they are gifted or solidly average students. Not sure whether your family needs help? Read when parents hire an educational consultant.

I am the only Boston-area private school admissions consultant who specializes in working with the parents of children applying for entry to grades PK – 8 in independent day schools. I love this age group! I do not assist with high school or college admissions. The best time to get started is Spring or Summer in advance of the Fall application season for school entry the following Fall.

As a parent myself, I personally understand the practical and emotional needs of parents and children as they embark upon their own unique educational journeys. I am well known in the private school world through my former positions as Admissions & Financial Aid Director at The Fenn School in Concord, Massachusetts, and Head of School at Odyssey Day School in Wakefield, Massachusetts. I also provide expert witness consulting for attorneys in matters involving schools and admissions.

Please fill out the contact form on my website to set up a free initial consultation and discussion of your child’s needs.

I look forward to working with you!
