I get people unstuck.

College and career transitions can feel overwhelming. Too many options, too much conflicting information, no clear place to start. With 25 years in higher education, I bring the investigative rigor of an academic and the interpersonal skills of a communication professor to help you move forward. You leave with clear deliverables: researched pathways and concrete tools so you feel confident about your next steps.
