I studied psychology and neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University, later graduating from Harvard Law School. I am passionate about helping young people discover their passions, pursue their dreams, and tell their stories. As an attorney, I do this by helping young folks who have experienced foster care tell their stories in court and find growth opportunities. As a College Advisor, I do this by supporting families as they navigate the complex college application process. I work with students to help them develop their personal "brand," and then convincingly tell their stories to admissions committees. I have been helping students apply to college for years and am motivated by their hard work, determination, and persistence.

College Testimonials from Clients Who Were Accepted to Carnegie Mellon University
Jennifer Lawrence
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Gabe was absolutely wonderful as an advisor. He was very thorough with both grammatical and content edits in my essays, as well as very knowledgeable whenever I had questions about the process. I primarily needed CollegeAdvisor for assistance in crafting my essays and activity descriptions and didn’t really make use of any of the offered webinars/workshops; I also had my college list already picked out when I came to CollegeAdvisor, so I didn’t receive much help there either, but Gabe did help me do some research on schools that I was applying.
