My exposure to boarding school started at the young age of five when I attended a junior boarding school as a day student at Rumsey Hall School in Connecticut. It continued as a boarding student at The Mary C. Wheeler School in Providence where I attended high school. At my initial school interviews, I remember looking at the Admissions Director thinking that that would be as a job I would really like to have!  Little did I know that after I had finished my degree at the University of Denver and had been a Peace Corp Teacher/volunteer in Ethiopia that I would actually become one.  It took a few years to get there as I started out as a teacher and houseparent at a junior boarding school.  I progressed to the role of Admissions Director and eventually to the Co-Directorship of the school.  My next moves were to the secondary school level where I was the Director of Admissions and then I became a marketing and admissions consultant.  For ten years I worked with over sixty boarding schools traveling in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Learning is a life long occupation and seeing is believing.  For the past fifteen years I have spent an average of one week a month visiting schools and programs, taking courses or attending conferences. Not only do I enjoy keeping up with my profession, but also as a member of The Independent Educational Consultant Association it is an expectation.

My presence in Bermuda began in 1992 when I started to offer Boarding School Fairs to the general public on the island.  For the past two years my services as an educational consultant have been available as an affiliate of Benedict Associates, a counseling and
employee assistance resource for Bermuda.
