About Me
Independent educational consultant helping U.S. students and families pursue full Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at European universities.
I am an independent educational consultant specializing in helping U.S. students and families pursue full Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at European universities. My work is intentionally focused. I do not try to cover every possible college destination or every form of international education.
A Specialist in Full Degrees in Europe
I chose to specialize deeply in Europe because this decision deserves more than a general understanding of “college abroad.” Countries, universities, degree structures, costs, academic expectations, and student experiences vary enormously. Families need guidance that reflects those differences and connects them to the individual student.
That specialization allows me to concentrate on what matters most to my clients:
-
Understanding their goals
-
Researching the European university options that genuinely fit
-
Helping them make informed decisions about an unfamiliar but potentially extraordinary path
Why I Chose to Focus on Europe
What drew me to this work was seeing how easily American families can feel pushed toward compromises in the U.S. college search. The price of college can dominate the decision. Competition can narrow the choices students believe are available to them. Families may find themselves compromising on academic fit, affordability, location, or opportunity while never realizing that another entire university system is available to explore.
Europe can change that conversation. For some students, a European university becomes an alternative when the options they are finding in the United States no longer make sense. For others, Europe deserves to be Plan A from the beginning: a full degree taught in English, a more focused academic path, a shorter route to graduation in many programs, potentially much lower total degree costs, and the experience of building a life in another part of the world.
That became a personal mission for me. I want U.S. students and families to know that this option exists before they accept a compromise they never needed to make. My goal is not to persuade every student to choose Europe. It is to make sure that students for whom Europe could be the stronger choice have the opportunity to discover it, understand it, and take it seriously.
Direct, Personal, and Candid Guidance
When you work with Get Degree Abroad, you work directly with me. There is no handoff to a junior advisor and no standardized formula applied to every student. I want to understand what matters to you, what you are trying to achieve, what concerns you, and what would make a university option genuinely worth pursuing.
I also believe useful guidance has to be candid. If I think an option is unrealistic, unnecessarily expensive, poorly matched, or simply weaker than another choice, I will say so. My job is not to make every possibility sound exciting. It is to help you distinguish the opportunities worth pursuing from the ones that are not.
You should be able to ask difficult questions, discuss tradeoffs openly, and know that the advice you receive is based on your situation rather than a predetermined answer.
Independent Guidance With No University Agenda
My responsibility is to the student and family.
I do not choose European universities because someone needs a student placed there. I do not represent universities, and my recommendations are not built around steering families toward particular institutions for the university’s benefit.
Recommendations are based on fit: the student’s academic background, goals, priorities, financial reality, preferred university experience, and the quality of the opportunity itself. That independence matters because the best answer may be a famous university, a university you have never heard of, a different European country than you expected, or even the conclusion that a particular option is not right for you. The purpose of the guidance is to help you make the strongest decision for your future.
Who I Work With
I work with U.S. students and families considering full degrees in Europe at different stages of the decision. Some students are planning a Bachelor’s degree in Europe and want to understand which countries, universities, and English-taught programs could offer the right academic and financial fit.
Others are pursuing a Master’s degree in Europe and want to build on their previous education in a new academic and international environment. I also work with homeschool students and families whose path toward college may look different from the traditional U.S. high school route, as well as families who originally expected to remain entirely within the American college system but have begun looking more broadly.
What matters most is not whether Europe is already your first choice. What matters is whether you are willing to examine the possibilities seriously, compare them intelligently, and choose the path that makes the strongest sense for your future.
