Hope's experience includes work in all dimensions of the college admissions process. As an Assistant Director of Admission at Princeton University, she learned how selective admissions decisions are made and what makes students stand out in the global applicant pool at highly competitive universities. She was trained by Fred Hargadon, the longtime Dean of Admissions at both Princeton and Stanford Universities, and an acknowledged leader in admission philosophy and process.

Her subsequent years as the Assistant Director of College Counseling at Charlotte Country Day School gave her experience from the high school side of the college admission process, where she demonstrated expertise assisting students with essay composition for their university applications. When her family relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, Hope served as a volunteer for the college counseling office at Christ Church Episcopal School and later worked with Educational Directions of Greenville prior to living in France for two years for her husband's job with Michelin. Hope graduated from Princeton University, with a degree in English.
