I founded StepAhead College Advising based on the following core principles:

Student Voice

High school is a time for students to explore, try new things, develop new skills and figure out what they are really passionate about.  I encourage students to develop their own sense of self so they can identify the college environment where they can thrive.

“Good Fit” Colleges

Too often students apply and attend a college based on name recognition or rankings alone and don’t consider whether a particular college is a good fit for the individual student.  “Fit” can be defined in many ways including academic, social, geographic, financial and more. Finding a good fit can help students to be successful in college and beyond. 

A Student-Centered Team Approach

While keeping the student’s interests at the forefront of my work, I also collaborate with families throughout the process so the student receives unified support and advice. To help with this, I offer family education nights to provide students and their supporters a deeper understanding of the process.
