How I Can Help
I’m a different type of academic consultant
There are many paths to education and many ways to upskill for career growth or change. I offer efficient, time-saving support to help you find the education and skill-building options that work for you. With over two decades of experience guiding students through all types of post-secondary transitions, I know how to navigate college red tape and policies. Your experience with me will be 100% tailored to your needs, and you’ll walk away with clear, actionable options.

I can help you sort through a range of educational paths. We will discuss potential goals and swiftly research options for the right fit. I’ll guide you with questions for program advisors, join you in those conversations if needed, and help you evaluate courses to make informed program choices.
Once you decide, I can help you plan for admission paperwork (including a college essay, if needed) and timelines. We can even determine a course load that fits your strengths and personal needs.
For Running Start, I understand that adjusting the high school experience is a big decision. As a Communication professor, I work with a large Running Start population as an advisor and in Gen Ed courses. 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 determine practical next steps.

Maybe you’re a student facing a failed course, needing accommodations, or attempting a program appeal. Maybe you’re a parent/caring adult supporting a struggling student. With extensive experience in behind-the-scenes college operations, I am a creative, masterful problem-solver for academic pivots. I can help you interpret college policies, untangle complex processes, and establish steps for success to get academic and career goals back on track.
-
In college, students need to advocate for themselves—without the parent involvement typical in K-12. I coach students on engaging effectively with professors and campus staff, providing an understanding of options and policies, along with the right words for confident interactions. For parents, this offers peace of mind, knowing your student is developing skills that benefit both their college experience and future career.
