Description of Experience : I have been the coordinator of an International Baccalaureate program here in Florida since 1997. As such, I have counseled students on college searches and applications since then. In 2018, my former colleague Samia Ferraro approached me about becoming her associate and we agreed to go into business together. I have been providing college counseling to students since then. About a year ago, we joined Debra Landesberg's My College Resource team.
