Choosing a counselor means choosing someone who will get to know your student. Patrick brings experience in teaching, tutoring, and working with families to the college planning process.

Hi, I’m Patrick.
With over 20 years of experience in teaching and tutoring, I bring an educator’s perspective to college counseling. I take time to get to know each student and help them find a path that reflects who they are.
From the first conversation to essay revisions, we’ll work through the process together.

An educator’s perspective on college planning
A college list should reflect more than a name or a ranking. Conversations about interests, learning preferences, possible majors, and campus life help students make thoughtful choices.
Patrick’s background includes high school teaching, college instruction, and tutoring. He is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).
