The UK is now my home, and international education is my passion.  I strive to help you, your clients, or your organisation to clarify, engage strategically, organise, and find success. 

If you are a student or an IEC, I will introduce you or your clients to the attainable, affordable, and world-class opportunities in the UK for undergraduate and postgraduate education.  I'll aim to help increase your confidence in yourself, your place in your area of study, and to help prepare you for UK life so you can thrive in your university.

For Institutions, organisations, and advisors, I offer consultation, strategy development, research, stakeholder engagement, and team and admissions training. I'm able to work in both the UK and the US.
