About Me
About Me
My son once said to me, “Mom, don’t you think school should be about finding out who I am and then doing everything that will help me be the best version of myself.” Who can argue with that? I have over fifteen years of school counseling experience earning my MS in Educational Counseling in 1998. One of my bedrocks as a school counselor was to implement a Career Development pathway. It was my goal to ensure every student, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, gender found their way to post-secondary goals that complimented what was in alignment with their natural talents, interests, and gifts. I have also worked as a career development coach to adults that were involved with social service programs, teaching them how to transfer life skills into meaningful employment. We wrote resumes, practiced interview tips, and explored the basic foundations of positive self-esteem. Today I work privately as a life coach and educational adviser. It is my goal to assist you with making your dreams come true through career development and college planning.

My Goal Is To Help You
My Goal Is To Help You
The students of the Virgin Islands are entitled to federal student loan and grant money that can open extraordinary opportunities outside the Virgin Islands after high school. This funding can pay for housing, books, meal plans, and tuition.
I serve a national demographic of high school students and adults who seek entry or reentry into a career. It is my intention to show you the ropes and what you need to do to open the doors that are important to you.
I have more than 15 years of experience helping students and their families manifest successful postsecondary goals. Not all students are meant to go straight to a four-year university after high school. If this is their goal, planning needs to happen early. Access to higher levels of science, second language, humanities, and mathematics are highly important, and today, there are many viable options for these courses.
There are also great community colleges across the United States that have two-year trade programs, including mechanics, computer science, and hospitality. I use career development programs to help you identify your talents and interests and utilize them to make your dreams come true. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!
Please note that while I am based in the Virgin Islands, my services are available to individuals across the nation.
