DANI

I’m a certified school counselor for grades K-12 across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I hold a Master of Science in School Counseling from Touro College and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Delaware.

Although my own college application process was far from straightforward, I learned valuable lessons that I carry with me when working with students today. I fell in love with UD for its welcoming campus and perfect distance from home. After applying Early Decision, I was deferred, and went to my guidance counselor in tears. She immediately reassured me, recommending I seek an additional letter of recommendation from my most challenging course teacher at the time. Just a week later, I received my acceptance letter! This experience has shaped the way I guide students now. I’ve learned the importance of perseverance, thinking creatively, and never taking "no" for an answer when it comes to college admissions.
