How I Can Help

If you are exploring education options beyond high school or to upskill for career growth, I save you time by finding a range of options that can work for you. My research is intricate so you can make informed decisions about your next steps. If you are in the admission process or already in school, I can also help untangle college red tape and policies. Whatever you need, my work is 100% tailored for you—no unnecessary extras.

I’m a different type of academic consultant

Ways I Can Help:

  • Our exploration of academic programs starts with a focused interview—your goals, preferences, resources, and concerns. Then I dig in, researching every viable pathway. You’ll get a clear, detailed report outlining key differences in coursework, program focus, career outcomes, internships—you name it. I’ll equip you to compare options confidently, ask the right questions, and follow a personalized timeline from where you are to where you want to be.

    For Running Start, I understand that adjusting the high school experience is a big decision. As a Communication professor and advisor, I work with a large Running Start population. I also have personal insights as the parent of a former Running Start student. We can weigh the pros and cons of this move and work thorough practical next steps.

  • Failed courses, accommodations, or appeals often come with college red tape. Whether you’re a student or a parent supporting one, I help interpret policies, explore alternatives, and get academic goals back on track. With years of behind-the-scenes experience, I’m a creative, strategic problem-solver who knows how to navigate—and untangle—the system.

  • In college, students need to advocate for themselves—without the typical K–12 parent involvement. I coach students on what to say and how to say it in confident, respectful interactions with professors and campus staff. I also help decode behind-the-scenes policies and class issues so students can respond strategically. For parents, this means peace of mind knowing your student is building real-world communication skills that will serve them in college and beyond.

Ways I Can Help:

    I’ll also introduce you to tech tools to take over the process and make your search both personalized and efficient. By the end of our work, you’ll have a strong application package and a valuable new skill for today’s job market.
