Sophie

Sophie is a consummate educator that has helped hundreds of students successfully navigate the selective college admissions process. After beginning her career teaching history, she went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Applied Psychology from NYU, and graduate certificate in college advising from Teachers College, Columbia University.

Understanding all the complexity of the admissions process and the stresses it can cause, Sophie mentors students with both empathy and a sense of ambition. She believes in a strategic approach that is supportive, but also pushes students to think and perform beyond their comfort zone. After working as a school counselor in New York and Philadelphia, Sophie enjoys the depth of attention she can provide students and their families as a PCC counselor.

In order to provide the most up-to-date information Sophie maintains membership in the National Association of College Admissions Counseling (NACAC),  International Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), and American School Counselor Association (ASCA). She continually travels to colleges—domestically and internationally—to speak with admissions officers and “feel the vibe” on campus. Outside the office, Sophie spends her time coaching and playing basketball, traveling with her husband, working towards fluency in Spanish and Arabic, and spending time with her Italian Greyhound puppy, Dobby.
