✨ Letters of Recommendation Matter! ✨

College applications are around the corner, and a strong letter can set you apart. Choose a recommender who knows you well and aligns with your future goals.

🎓 Planning to major in STEM? Ask your math or science teacher.
🎨 Headed for the arts? Consider an art or English teacher who’s seen your creativity.
📚 Thinking of education or humanities? Your history or language teacher may be a great fit.

📄 Make it easy for your teacher to write a great letter by providing helpful info—like your resume, achievements, and what you hope they’ll highlight.

At Targeted Paths, students receive a ready-to-use recommendation request template to make this step simple and stress-free!

✅ Start early, ask in person, and always say thank you.

📅 Now’s the time to get ahead — who will you ask?

Hi, I’m Beth — and I help students (and their parents!) navigate the often overwhelming high school-to-college journey with clarity, strategy, and heart. 💙

Through personalized college and career planning, I help students discover what fits — from course selection and career exploration to building balanced college lists and crafting standout applications.

✨ Whether your teen is unsure about their next steps or just needs a plan, I’m here to guide the way.

🎯 Wondering how career assessments actually help students? Here’s how we do it at Targeted Paths:

1️⃣ Meet One-on-One – We start by getting to know the student: their strengths, interests, values, and goals. This helps us guide the career assessment process in a way that feels relevant and personal.

2️⃣ Facilitate a Research-Based Assessment – Students complete a professional-grade assessment that highlights potential career paths based on their unique profile.

3️⃣ Deliver a Clear, Personalized Report – We provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining the student’s top career matches, suggested fields of study, and actionable next steps.

4️⃣ Connect to a 4-Year Plan – We don’t stop at suggestions. We align results with a custom academic roadmap—so students know what classes, activities, and college prep steps will move them toward their goals.

✅ It’s not just an assessment—it’s a launchpad for confident, informed decision-making throughout high school and into college.
