As the former Associate Director of the Office of Higher Education at the Council of International Schools (CIS), Tom worked closely with international admission directors from more than 450 top universities in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia to provide them with guidance on best practices in international student outreach. Tom’s career in the field of university admissions spans 35 years, and his experience demonstrates a lifelong commitment to international education, inspiring and guiding students to pursue their educational aspirations at the university of their choice. He has held key roles in university admissions and has led the international admission programs at Lynn University and Marymount California University. He believes that the university admission process, like the university experience itself, should be one of self-discovery and growth, and he brings this philosophy to his work with students.
