Meet Lynne!

Lynne’s students have gone on to attend virtually every selective college on the East Coast, including seven Ivy League institutions, Georgetown, Middlebury, Boston College, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Chicago (which is not technically the East Coast but serves as evidence that her expertise is not limited to schools residing in the Eastern time zone). 

In addition to her 10-year stint as senior associate director of college counseling at Berwick Academy in Maine, Lynne spent seven years as executive director of the New England Association for College Admission Counseling, where she was named Professional of the Year in 2022. In that role, Lynne worked closely with admissions leaders and school counselors up and down the East Coast. In fact, Lynne is so well known and respected in our profession that we recognized her name immediately when her (impeccable) application came across our recruiting desk. She is, quite simply, a college counseling legend in the Northeast. 

Here’s how Lynne describes her work as a college counselor: 

“My superpower is helping students find their confidence and strengths in the admissions process. I have extensive experience working with teenagers in various roles as a college counselor, teacher, coach, and advisor. My approach is to create a supportive environment where students feel at ease while striving to achieve their full potential.”

A mom of two kids of her own, one who has graduated college and another who is in his senior year, Lynne is also adept at helping parents find a sense of calm and reassurance as their kids plan their journey to college. When she’s not counseling or parenting, you’ll find Lynne enjoying New York-style pizza, working on her golf game, and playing with her rescue dog.
