Seek Your Future

Services

Seek Your Future's mission is to provide comprehensive, caring educational and vocational counseling to current high school students and those who have already graduated. I believe that all young people dream about a vision for their future and deserve the opportunity and necessary support to seek and work toward a personally rewarding life.

I can assist families in several ways:

Student Assessment: offer face-to-face meetings with students to assess their personal and academic strengths. During this process, I focus on maximizing the positive aspects of their life and encourage them to express their feelings.
Educational Options: review the student's academic history and assist them in planning how to increase their post-secondary options. This discussion will address what types of colleges may be the best "fit", including those with special resources and interdisciplinary freshman programs.
Timelines: work with the student to create a reasonable timeline for researching schools, taking exams, and meeting admissions deadlines. This will assist the student to stay on schedule without parents having to "nag".
Finances: meet with parents and students to discuss issues such as how to finance a college education and how this knowledge may impact their student's school choices.
College List: build a list of colleges to consider and offer advice on how to maximize the student's success. This may include advice for visiting the college and how to develop a relationship with admissions staff.
Applications: assist students with application materials, prepare them for interviews, guide their portfolio creation, and coach them how to effectively utilize online and mobile resources.
Job Hunt: coach students going to the job market on how to clarify career interests, build a resume, organize a job hunt, and interview.

Support for a successful transition to college and independent living is also offered. This can include working with specialized programs and schools.
