A graduate of Hamilton College, Amy spent 20 years as a public school guidance counselor before transitioning to private consulting. This deep background gives her a massive edge: she doesn’t just look at data points-she truly get to know each student to uncover the hidden, unique angles that make them human.
Her core philosophy is simple: top-tier admissions departments are numb to existing high school clubs and pre-packaged organization chapters. Amy strictly steers her students away from established, off the shelf platforms, focusing instead on helping them architect and build their own original ventures from scratch.
For example instead of a student joining a business club she encourages and guides them to build their own hyper-local platform that coordinates regional logistics for community aid.
Instead of signing up for basic volunteer work, she mentors a student to found a cross-border advocacy network that connects international peers to address and discuss global policy initiatives.
By pushing students to become creators and founders she ensures their personal brand stands completely alone and shines brightly among other high quality applicants, maximizing their probability of acceptance into the schools of their dreams.
