For students entering their junior through senior year of high school. This class is designed for students navigating towards the college admissions process. Regardless of whether a student is ending their sophomore year of high school or in their senior year, it is never too early or late to start considering options for your future. The notion that each student and university are different and not everyone will be successful at the same campus will assist with students evaluating what is the best choice for themselves. The goal is ultimately to “navigate towards a debt free college experience.” Throughout the on demand sessions students will take the driver's seat on their academic planning and gain personal accountability. Each student will navigate the various topics of higher education to become better prepared and gain valuable skills that will assist with both their high school and college academic journeys. Examples of topics covered through sessions: Basic overview of academic options Understanding the importance of High School Graduation Plan Exploring College Entrance/Readiness Exams All About Scholarships All About Transcripts Exploring Extracurriculars – Clubs/Internships/Volunteering Campus Tour Options Exploring Majors Letters of Recommendation Implementing Your College Plan I will provide the resources and tools students need to successfully discover the best fit for their academic and financial needs prior to starting the college application process. The ultimate goal of this course is for students to become more confident in continuing to evaluate and implement all their options for their future.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My career has provided me with the opportunity to work in multiple aspects of education, whether as Campus Registrar, Student Engagement Specialist, or Home School Teacher. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to support amazing groups of students from multiple demographics and given the chance to offer valuable insight to assist with reaching their academic goals. Additionally, I hold a degree in psychology with the understanding that each student has their own unique approach to education.
My philosophy is the same as my main goals for every student:
- Reduce the obstacles and enable student success
- Recognize that self-motivation is the key
- Whether a student attends a public, private or homeschool – the endless opportunities for future academic success are the same
I have worked in brick and mortar, online virtual, and homeschool educational settings for over the past decade.Reviews
