“I came to admissions counseling through a combination of lived experience, professional exposure, and a deep belief in education as a vehicle for opportunity and self-actualization,” Tamy-Feé says. With over 15 years of experience in admissions counseling and educational leadership, she has shaped thousands of academic journeys through strategic, highly personalized guidance. A first-generation college graduate and Haitian immigrant, Tamy-Feé brings a systems-level understanding of how selective institutions operate—and how students from diverse backgrounds can navigate them with confidence and clarity. She holds a BA in communication and an MA in higher education administration from Boston College.
Early in her career, Tamy-Feé saw firsthand how profoundly unequal access to information, mentorship, and strategic guidance could shape student outcomes—even among students with similar academic ability. “I was drawn to the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and advocacy that defines admissions work at its best,” she explains. Her passion for admissions counseling was solidified when she recognized that the work is not simply about gaining entry to selective institutions, but about helping students articulate who they are, what they value, and how they want to contribute to the world. “The work requires intellectual rigor, emotional intelligence, and systems-level thinking—qualities that deeply align with how I approach problem-solving and leadership,” Tamy-Feé says. “Over time, this evolved into a mission-driven practice centered on clarity, agency, and long-term impact for students and families.”
Tamy-Feé works with a wide range of students and families, including those navigating highly selective admissions, nontraditional or interdisciplinary academic paths, and complex application strategies. Her areas of particular depth include elite and highly selective institutions, athletic-adjacent applicants, STEM and research-focused students, and first-generation, immigrant, and globally mobile families. She also has expertise in secondary school admissions, including independent and boarding school placements, and guiding families through financial aid. “I am particularly skilled at helping students whose profiles do not fit a ‘standard mold’ translate their experiences into compelling, institutionally resonant narratives,” Tamy-Feé says.
Tamy-Feé’s favorite part of admissions counseling is helping students move from anxiety and self-doubt to clarity and confidence. “The admissions process can be overwhelming, particularly for high-achieving students who feel pressure to perform or conform,” she says. “I find tremendous meaning in helping students slow down, reflect, and recognize the coherence in their own experiences.” She notes that a pivotal moment occurs when students realize they are not “behind,” “not enough,” or “missing something,” but simply unfinished. “Watching students learn to own their stories, advocate for themselves, and make thoughtful, values-aligned choices is incredibly rewarding,” Tamy-Feé says. “Long after admissions decisions are released, those skills stay with them, and that lasting growth is what makes the work so meaningful to me.”
Beyond admissions counseling, Tamy-Feé is deeply interested in leadership development, organizational strategy, and systems that promote equity and access at scale. She enjoys building programs, mentoring other professionals, and thinking about how education, policy, and innovation intersect. She also values creativity, movement, and community. “I am drawn to activities that require discipline and teamwork, as well as spaces that allow for reflection and renewal,” Tamy-Feé says. “These interests inform my work by keeping me grounded, curious, and connected to the broader human context in which education—and growth—actually occur.”
