"For over 25 years I have worked in a community college setting as an administrator serving students with barriers to education. I have developed programs and curriculum to assist students with executive functioning skills, functional life skills and socialization. I am very passionate about helping students reach their academic and vocational potential by creating a safe and challenging environment that fosters growth, self-advocacy and self-awareness.

Recently I have become well versed in the college application process including the extremely important college entrance essay and I am very familiar with interworking of higher education.

I am currently interested in working with students in a one-to-one setting as my current position does not allow me the time to spend with students.
