"High school gets students into college, but most of them aren't prepared for what happens next. Every year, millions of students will struggle with the social, emotional, physical, financial, and academic changes ahead. This is a fact. It's the same type of problems year after year. Many of these situations can be prevented or more easily managed. I'm grateful to help students and their parents get comfortable with the uncomfortable while navigating all the changes ahead.
