Wendy Parker

Administrative Coordinator

Wendy graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Biological Systems Engineering. She can still recall visiting the campus for the first time as a teenager and having that “a-ha” moment, knowing she had found the college where she belonged. At Advantage College Planning, she loves welcoming new families to the college admissions process and truly hopes every student finds a place where they can find that same joy!

Although originally from Richmond, VA, Wendy moved to the area after graduation and has never left! Wendy worked in the biotech industry for 8 years, and 6 of those years were spent at Biogen in the Quality Assurance Department. She took a hiatus from the professional world in 2007 and has enjoyed volunteering at her kids’ schools and through their soccer teams ever since. She has spent many years serving on the PTA Board at Highcroft Elementary School and the Booster Club Board for the athletic department at Green Level High School. Her daughter is a Green Level High School student and a client at Advantage College Planning!

Outside of work, Wendy enjoys working out, is an avid Peloton user, and can run an occasional 5K. She also loves to read and listen to podcasts and audiobooks. You can usually find her at the soccer field watching one of her two kids play. Although her daughter and her son have been playing soccer for most of their childhoods, she still has trouble comprehending the offside rule. She also loves spending time with her husband and her energetic Boston Terrier named Astro.
