I am passionate about helping individuals explore their values, interests and goals, and set a new path to achieving those goals. For more than 20 years leading several top U.S. graduate law programs (LL.M. and J.S.D.), I had the privilege of working with talented and ambitious professionals from throughout the U.S. and the world. I counseled and coached thousands of lawyers and law students on academic, personal and professional matters, and learned a lot from them. They continue to inspire me every day!As a coach, I partner with my clients as they work through periods of transition, challenge, opportunity, and growth. I support them through a journey of self-exploration aimed at helping them gain self-awareness, overcome their internal blocks, and unleash their potential, with the ultimate goal of maximizing their fulfillment. ADMISSIONS COACH/CONSULTANTOne of my niches is working with graduate law applicants. For more than 20 years, I oversaw all aspects of several LL.M. and J.S.D. law programs, including admissions, recruiting and student advising, and was actively involved in leadership training and career counseling. I set admissions policies and developed admissions strategies, and personally evaluated and made final decisions on tens of thousands of applications. I am intimately familiar with the admissions process, and understand how admissions committees evaluate and make decisions on applications. I bring this expertise and my coaching experience to my work with applicants as an admissions coach/consultant. I work one-on-one with every client, to help them craft their strongest application – one that highlights their strengths and tells their unique story.
