Why Pivot?

An experience and relationship-driven approach to admissions

Pivot Consulting was created for families who value discretion, insight, and thoughtful guidance.

​

I work with a small number of families each year to ensure I can build meaningful relationships with both parents and students—taking the time to truly understand who a child is, how they learn, and what environments will best support their growth.

​

My approach is informed by direct collaboration with independent school leadership and admissions teams, as well as an intimate understanding of the expectations, culture, and values that shape school communities.​ This perspective allows me to help families navigate the process with confidence; asking the right questions, preparing thoughtfully, and making decisions that feel aligned rather than pressured.

​

The goal is never simply admission.

The goal is placement that feels right academically, socially, and emotionally.

To guide families through independent school admissions with care, clarity, and integrity—supporting students as they transition into environments where they can feel confident, supported, and fully themselves.

​

Relationships Matter

We believe trust is built over time. Our work is grounded in long-standing relationships within the independent school community and close partnerships with families.

​

Experience-Led Guidance

Our approach is shaped by real experience—as educators, administrators, parents, and advocates within independent schools.

​

Integrity & Discretion

Operations are guided by the highest standards of professionalism, transparency, and respect for the admissions process and the communities served, with exceptional care, discretion, and confidentiality in every engagement.

​

Child-Centered Decision Making

Every recommendation is made with the child’s growth, well-being, and long-term success in mind.

​

Thoughtful Transitions

The right school transition should feel intentional, supported, and affirming—not rushed or transactional.
