Sharon launched All About U College Counseling to meet a growing need to help high school students and families navigate the college search and selection process. She has a comprehensive background working with teens as both a career counselor and internship coordinator. In these roles, Sharon has assisted students in identifying their strengths and interests and connected them with opportunities to develop and explore. With All About U College Counseling, Sharon expands her vision to help students realize a fulfilling, successful and happy educational experience, by helping them find colleges and universities that will enable them to grow and thrive.

“As a first-generation college student, I did not receive any guidance when choosing my college or major. I learned firsthand how a lack of information during the college selection process and lack of awareness about my interests and goals, made the path much more difficult and costly than it should have been. As an IEC, I love helping students to define their interests and career goals and assisting them in creating a plan towards personal fulfillment and academic success.”

Sharon holds a BA in Public Administration from Stonehill College, she is a Certified Career Services Provider through the National Career Development Association (NCDA), a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), the Higher Education Counselors Association (HECA) and the National College Advocacy Group (NCAG). She held the positions of Internship Coordinator and Assistant Program Coordinator at The Education Cooperative, and served as President and Fundraising Chairperson of the PTG at Cornerstone Academy in Northborough, MA.

Sharon is the the mother of two college-aged sons.
