I own my own college consulting business and I have mentored high school students since 2014 and continue to do so today through two non-profit organizations both virtually and in-person. Professionally, I've guided high school students through educational transitions from one school to another, from one country to another, and from high school into college. I have also worked with students who were struggling academically and needed the additional encouragement and accountability of a mentor. In addition, I have mentored/coached students through the college admissions process as well as through college. 

I hold an Independent Education Consultant certificate, an M.A in Teaching English as a Second Language, and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with minors in English and Spanish. 

I have a wide range of experiences living in a very diverse range of communities, which enable me to connect with students from a variety of different backgrounds. 
My own experience includes living in:
- a typical Midwestern small city
- a diverse downtown area of a Northeastern city
- a small, conservative, religious community in Missouri
- a liberal college town
- a lower-income, medium sized city
- an historic Puerto Rican small town
- a large city in Western Europe

Mentoring and encouraging students, watching them grow, mature, and achieve is the ultimate role of trust and responsibility, and a role I do not take lightly.
