Christine has been empowering students and guiding her client families through the private school and college admissions processes since 1995. She has coached and guided over 3,000 domestic and international students. She works closely with students and their families to help them find and secure the right educational opportunities.
In 2012, Christine stepped away from her full-time consulting practice for three years to become the first Director of International Students at a Boston area independent school where she worked in international admissions, college counseling, supported international students and families, and was responsible for SEVIS I-20 documentation and visa procurement assistance. Her role as Director of International Students gave her the opportunity to assist with institutional needs pertaining to international students with the annual fund, student health insurance, host family referrals and school-family-liaison work.
Christine is a serial volunteer, and has served in numerous capacities for her professional association, the IECA over the years: as Chair of the IECA Schools Committee, as a participating member of the IECA credentialing task force for schools consulting and as a member of the Membership Committee for the Independent Educational Consultants Association. She is currently working as a member of the IECA Strategic Planning Committee. As an active parent, she was a board member for The Cape Cod Montessori School, vice-president and secretary of The Sandwich Montessori Enrichment and Assistance Fund, and has served as co-VP on the Hopkins School PTA, the Elmwood School PTA and was the parent liaison to the superintendent for the HPTA. She is also a member of the school councils for Elmwood School, Hopkins School and for Hopkinton High School. Currently she is an active member of the board of directors at The Hopkinton Center for the Arts where she heads up the Governance Committee and assists with the Teen Advisory Board and Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committees.
