Guide and support high school students on their path to college through academic planning, self-exploration, and college research that is engaging, focused, and organized into manageable steps. My goal is for students to understand more fully why they want to go to college and what matters to them so that they are prepared and ready to put forward strong applications to the "best fit" colleges that offer them a learning community where they can thrive. When students start asking the right questions, and become engaged and motivated, they find that the path to life after high school is full of great choices.
