Years ago I wouldn’t have imagined being patient or bold enough to start a business or consult families and organizations on how to make college an affordable reality, especially without “qualifying” for need-based aid. This month, I will celebrate 6 years of thriving & I’m preparing for another school year. In 6 years as an education consultant I’ve learned:
✅ Know your audience
✅ Master a skill set & master it again
✅ You will be paid your worth, so know it & charge it!
✅ Creating new roles, programs, hiring counselors, and getting outstanding results of scholarships and colleges acceptances is possible regardless of how it looks!
