My process

For over 10 years, I have loved working with students and families to determine the next right step including but not limited to career and college exploration. I center my practice on goal attainment starting at a root of what makes you, "you!" I have dedicated much of my time researching at the doctoral level college and career exploration including how to find a path that will align with your values and goals. Advising is my true passion in life and I go above and beyond expectations to ensure that there is a level of comfort and stress relief for each person I encounter. I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about your goals and interests!
