Holly has been helping students find their “best fit” school by successfully guiding families through the boarding school admission process since 2005. Nearly every student that she has worked with has been offered admission to a school on their list, and most have been offered admission at their first or second choice school. Holly’s prior experience as a former admission director of a secondary school gives her a keen understanding of how to strategically help each student present their best selves in the application process and optimize their admission outcomes. Furthermore, Holly’s long-standing relationships with admission directors throughout New England provide an abundance of information to guide the school search process.

Before becoming an educational consultant, Holly served as the Director of Admission and Dean of Students at The Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Connecticut; the Associate Director of Admission at both Miss Porter’s School and Miss Hall’s School; and the Director of Admission at the Salisbury Summer School. As the Secondary School Advisor at the Indian Mountain School, a junior boarding school in Lakeville, Connecticut, Holly thoroughly enjoyed helping ninth-grade graduates with their secondary school searches. This experience led her to pursue the role full-time as an independent educational advisor.

Holly has a Master’s Degree in Education from Harvard University and is a graduate of Bowdoin College and Middlesex School, a secondary boarding school in Massachusetts. Holly was the recipient of the IECA Foundation Irv Katz Award in 2010 for her “volunteer service to children'‘.
