About Carolyn

---

With a wealth of experience in both admissions and financial aid, I am deeply committed to guiding families through the complexities of the independent school application process. I’ve been privileged to work with students and families at various prestigious institutions, helping them navigate available academic and financial opportunities.

My roles have given me a unique understanding of the questions and challenges families face with the admission process and financial aid applications. At Episcopal Academy (Newtown Square, PA), I served as the Director of Financial Aid and Associate Director of Enrollment Management, managing admissions for grades 6 –12. I guided prospective students and families through every step of the application process, from conducting campus tours, to interviewing students and families, to ensuring they fully understood the value and benefits of an independent education. A significant part of my role was overseeing the distribution of approximately 10 million dollars in financial aid. My work focused on making this process as transparent, efficient, and equitable as possible for families. 

In addition to my work in admissions and financial aid, I’ve also had the privilege of leading athletic departments including Buckingham Browne & Nichols (Cambridge, MA) and Miss Porter’s School (Farmington, CT). While with Phillips Academy (Andover, MA) I worked closely with coaches, the athletic department, and prospective student-athletes to ensure they had the support they needed throughout the admission and recruitment process. 

Whether you want strategic advice on applying to schools, help with understanding financial aid packages, or navigating specific complexities such as athletic recruitment and learning differences, I bring a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to every step of the process.
