I HAD to study history at Hampton University (B.A) and U.S. History at Southern Methodist University (M.A. abt) because I found the complex topics and dynamic issues endlessly fascinating.  Teaching high school and college history felt more like a prize than a job as I loved sharing our nation's struggles and stories with young learners and challenging them to think critically. I have decades of experience doing this . While I am no longer in the physical classroom I am thrilled to be working with young learners around the world in small groups and one-on-one. Sharing my love of history to young people gives me hope and brings me so much happiness- our children are amazing!

I have been working with young people seeking higher education since 1999. Turns out, the same skills that make historians awesome (research, critical thinking, understanding the big picture) are also useful in guiding young people through the college selection and application process. Through the decades I have helped teens in groups and individually. College research and selection is a wonderful learning opportunity- my approach focuses on the life skills of self-reflection and rational decision making.
