Alex's Bio
Alex holds a Juris Doctor from The Vermont Law School and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Science and Political Science from Barnard College, Columbia University. Prior to becoming an independent educational consultant, Alex was the Director of Admissions at The Frederick Gunn School (formerly The Gunnery), a traditional New England boarding school in Washington, Connecticut, where she worked for ten years. During her tenure, she guided families through all aspects of the admissions process and interviewed close to 1000 students.

In addition to working with families across the U.S., Alex has extensive experience guiding international families who are seeking enrollment in independent boarding and day schools. Recognizing the power of bringing students together from around the world to learn from one another and develop into global citizens, she is dedicated to working with international students to find the best U.S. educational opportunities.
