“As a student myself and later on as an admissions professional, I learned how critical it is to find the right college fit. Working as a private admissions consultant lets me connect one-on-one with many different students. By taking it slow and getting to know them and their families, I find that matching them to the right schools comes naturally.”

Jennifer would go on to take a position at Northeastern University as an application reader, assisting in the evaluation of thousands of freshman candidates. And, at Regis College, she assumed the role of assistant director of admissions, planning and implementing all aspects of recruitment, overseeing the creation and dissemination of admissions literature, and reviewing applications for first-year applicants.

An avid volunteer, Jennifer is actively involved in her children’s schools. After undergoing her own high-risk pregnancy during the birth of her first son, she has spent the last seventeen years volunteering for Sidelines—a non-profit organization that provides support to women and families experiencing complicated pregnancies and premature births.

When she’s not busy researching college lists, Jennifer can be found with her husband and three sons spending time outdoors, on a family road trip, or soaking up the sun on a long-awaited vacation.
