She has worked at small liberal arts colleges, an all women’s college, more diverse Division I and Division II universities and most recently at the largest independent school in the continental U.S. She has an undefeated record in increasing net revenue for new student enrollment. Her increases in enrollment and cost savings in aid for net revenue have exceeded $100 million.

She travels extensively throughout the U.S. and the Caribbean to attract and enroll the best students.  She has enrolled famous athletes and celebrities but her passion is forging a path for students who might not otherwise have an academic opportunity. She gives seminars and workshops for parents on affordable educations, and to coach Division I athletes and first generation students. Rebecca has two adult sons who completed their undergraduate degrees without debt, and she completed both of her degrees with grants. Her expertise is coaching because along the way she had many mentors who assisted her, when she needed it most.
