Mission Statement:
L.A. School Scout helps families make informed and thoughtful choices about the schools that will best suit them. Our mission is to promote, encourage and applaud children's enthusiasm for school and learning; take the mystery and anxiety out of the school finding process for parents; and provide families with comprehensive information on all of their educational choices.
Personal Statement:
"I am hard-working, persistent and passionate about helping you find the right school for your child. If humanly possible, I will find out what's happening behind the scenes, and give you up to date information about getting into any particular school. If I don't know, I'll tell you, and then go find out. I don't know what it is, but people speak to me. Yes, even Directors of Admission speak to me. And I am more than happy to transfer that knowledge to you."
