        Twenty five years ago I began my career as an English teacher in Brooklyn, NY where I thoroughly enjoyed urban education and the relationships I was able to foster towards success. While in NYC, I acquired a masters in English, and another as well in Supervision, and learned how to write grants for my large public comprehensive high school.  I found myself as an advocate of teenagers and positive overall school tone. One of my sophomores submitted an essay to a Langston Hughes scholarship and won five thousand dollars back in 2002. I was hooked. Fast forward a few years and my marriage and family landed me a position in North Brunswick, NJ. While engaging ninth and twelfth graders in the English classroom, I simultaneously became a cross country and distance track coach. In 2016, I was the only female girls and boys head cross coach in Middlesex County and I won Coach of the Year. It was in this position where I truly thrived in the college recruitment world. My runners needed help with exploration, SAT registration, and the ever growing angst of, “Do you think I can really accomplish this?” This role led me to enroll in UCLA’s Independent Education Consultant program where last year I was forty for forty in college acceptances. My clients know that I am educated, competent and extremely competitive when it comes to this process. I recently received the honor of Middlesex County Teacher of the 2023 Year and I can attest that I worked tirelessly on that application. Every single family that hires Mercier Mentoring receives the utmost attention to detail and a steadfast focus on the goals of every student.
