About Jennifer
Experience is your Guide
A Seasoned Educator
I bring over 20 years of experience in K-12 and higher education, with a bachelor’s, MEd and PhD in Education, all from the University of Virginia. I provide peace of mind and expert guidance to shepherd parents and students through the college selection and admissions process. As a teacher, professor, and college administrator at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and the University of Cincinnati, I have experience working with 100's of top students from diverse backgrounds all around the globe. I currently work in the Wake Forest School of Law.
I Believe Education is Empowerment
My passion is working with students and helping them find empowerment through empathetic and supportive structure. I believe all students have a unique story to tell and a perfect match in a college or university. I help students use multiple techniques to identify their passions, find their voice, and tell a compelling story of what makes them special, what makes them tick, and the individual value they bring to a university. Additionally, I am focused on helping students find the right fit for their individual needs and goals.
Expert in Teaching and Learning
I have written and presented more than 50 publications, workshops, and keynote speaking engagements, specializing in immersive technologies for learning, online teaching, and understanding how people learn through games and simulations. I have consulted for multiple educational technology startups, NASA, and the US Armed Forces. In addition I have helped multiple top universities develop award-winning, student-centered curricula, including UNC School of Public Health, Virginia Commonwealth University, Purdue University, the US Department of Labor and the US Department of Education.
My depth and breadth in K-12 and higher education have helped me develop a nuanced understanding of the college admissions process, as well as my own philosophy of college admission. I focus on finding the right fit, educating families on the process, and crafting the best branded version of your student for college admissions committees.
