About

After going through London’s top schools’ exams and admissions process with my four children, friends started to ask for my advice. And then friends of friends. I realised that I could use my extensive experience and deep knowledge of schools and exam processes to help other families in the same way. To date, my specialty is helping students gain admission to top academic independent and grammar schools in London and its environs.

I graduated from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. where I majored in Finance and Economics. After graduation, I worked as an Analyst and Associate in Mergers & Acquisitions and capital markets at J.P. Morgan on Wall Street. I was also Vice-President at Emigrant Capital in NYC, a private equity firm focusing on the education industry. In 2001, I formed Silk Road Capital Advisors, Ltd. to help e-learning companies raise start-up and expansion capital.

After I had my family, I took 14 years off work to raise and educate my children. Through 2 international relocations to London over a period of 5 years and in the process put my children through competitive entry exams, I gained tremendous experience and insights into the London school scenes from primary to secondary schools. Now that 3 of my children are at US universities (Duke and 2 Wharton at U Penn), an increasingly popular route, I have experience in US university admissions as well. I hope to help other families in the same way.
