Hi, I'm Angie!
I am a passionate educator who embarked on a transformative career path from teaching internationally to guiding students toward their university dreams in Europe. I am originally from Portland, Oregon where I have worked with students of all ages for the past 25 years. After living and exploring colleges in the Americas and Europe, I became an international educator in 2014. I have lived in South America, Asia and Europe and I have spent these years immersed in diverse cultures, languages, and educational systems. Teaching abroad wasn't just a job for me; it was a profound journey of personal growth and understanding. Witnessing the unique challenges and aspirations of students from various backgrounds ignited my desire to support them beyond the classroom.
Driven by my belief in the transformative power of education, I transitioned into the role of a private college counselor with a specialization in European colleges. My decision was fueled by the recognition of a gap in resources for students aspiring to pursue higher education in Europe. Through extensive research, and firsthand experiences, I have cultivated expertise in navigating the intricacies of European admissions processes and academic landscapes.
I am dedicated to empowering students to learn about their passions and to navigate the complexities of applying to European colleges with confidence and clarity. Whether it's crafting personalized application strategies, providing guidance on academic or visa requirements, or demystifying cultural differences, I am committed to supporting you at every step of your journey toward acceptance.
My approach is holistic, tailored to each student's unique strengths, passions, and aspirations. By fostering a supportive and collaborative environment, I strive to not only help students gain acceptance to their dream colleges but also to instill in them the skills and mindset needed to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
I am thrilled to share my passion for higher education, travel and supporting young people with you!
