About Venetia

A London-born, award-winning BBC radio and television producer and director, she has called New York home for the past twenty years. Navigating the complexities of the school system in New York can be overwhelming, especially for newcomers. As a mother of two, Venetia understands firsthand the challenges parents face. When her family moved to Brooklyn, she found herself immersed in a daunting admissions process, which spurred her to build a comprehensive network of contacts — from fellow parents and alumni to teachers and education professionals. Over the years, this network has grown into an invaluable resource for families seeking guidance on school choices and admissions strategies.

Venetia is passionate about helping families find the best educational fit for their children. She believes that although the system can seem overwhelming, so many choices means that there is a school for every child, and with the right knowledge and expertise, parents can navigate the process with confidence. She says talking to families about the school they have chosen is her favourite part of the job, getting the insider's lowdown on the small but significant details that make all the difference.
