Emily has spent more than two decades in college counseling, with fifteen years working in selective college admissions and the balance supporting families directly as Director of College Counseling at an independent school in New York. 

Emily began her career in admissions at the University of Miami, while she completed her Masters Degree in Enrollment Management. She then spent nearly a decade as "Emily from Emory," recruiting students from every corner of the US as well as international markets throughout Asia and the Middle East. While at Emory, Emily was Director of Selection and managed the application review process, coordinating admission committees and finalizing decision release. Emily wrapped up her admissions career at UNC Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler Business School before moving to the other side of the desk.

Emily loves collaborating with families on the college search process, helping them navigate through all of the admission information (and misinformation!) that is out there. Emily finds it especially rewarding to support students and families as they sort through their options and finally find the right fit. Emily also recognizes the importance of accepting and appreciating differences, as she is a dual citizen of the United States and United Kingdom, spent four years living in the gateway to Latin America, and recruited prospective Emory students abroad.

Emily is a former member of Duke's Alumni Board and the Junior League; she volunteers for her childrens' school through its parent organization. She is the proud mother of two young children (& a Springer Spaniel) and is a certifiable “Cameron Crazie” for Duke Hoops. In her free time, Emily loves spending time with her family in the Adirondacks.
