| Introduction | I've worked as a teacher and educator for thirty years (hard to believe). I live and work in Chicago, a city I love a great deal for its strength, optimism, and sheer energy. I've lived and taught in New Orleans, Pottstown PA (at The Hill School a then-all boys boarding school), and Baton Rouge. I went to Princeton for an MA in anthropology and to Northwestern for another in theater. I also did some time as a consultant for a firm that worked with schools to develop marketing material and other related items. After six years at a private school here, I've started my own college consulting business working with those who don't have access to college counselors. |
