NOTE: My rising senior roster is currently full. If you are younger and want to start consulting, please contact me. A Few Things About Me Beyond Admissions I have been happily married for 25 years, have two sons, and live in the Chicagoland area. I became a high school English teacher because several teachers had a lasting impact on me. I love exploring literature and the central questions of human experience, and I genuinely enjoy working with teenagers. I have trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 10+ years (yes, I'm a black belt). To me, Jiu Jitsu is a metaphor for both writing and life: progress comes through patience, problem-solving, trial and error, and the willingness to challenge yourself. At 17, I was an exchange student in New Zealand. That sparked a lasting love of travel and the outdoors. I enjoy exploring a new place, spending time near mountains or water, and ending the day around a bonfire with people I love.
