The workshop was extremely beneficial in not only giving me the tools to pick a topic and start my essays, but also keep editing them until I am satisfied with them.

I learned a lot about finding my voice. I figured out how to derive my message, future, and aspirations into words.

This class took the stress away and made the application process very easy.

My goal is to make applying to college rewarding rather than arduous. I partner with my advisees, operating with these core values:

Listening actively and respectfully

Empowering students to set and achieve their own goals

Fostering self-awareness through discussion and reflective writing

Assisting students in evaluating their strengths and values

Helping students to develop critical life skills—resilience, responsibility, self-advocacy, and confidence
