Tina is a Columbia University Certified College Counselor.

For years, she's had the privilege of guiding students and families through the college admissions journey. She's seen know firsthand how exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—the process can feel, and my goal is always to make it less stressful, more manageable, and even enjoyable.

I love getting to know my students as individuals: their strengths, passions, challenges, and dreams for the future. Together, we create a personalized college list that balances academic goals, campus culture, and family considerations. From there, I help students find the right essay topics, shape their stories, and polish drafts until their applications truly reflect who they are.

Beyond the applications themselves, I work closely with families on every detail—from staying on top of deadlines to understanding financial aid—so that the process feels clear and organized.

Most of all, I take pride in helping students grow throughout this journey, building confidence, independence, and excitement about the next chapter of their lives.
