Day to Day

The structure of my work days varies which keeps me on my toes and energized. On any given week, I meet one-on-one with clients, run meetings, develop new resources and products, visit colleges, conduct research on college offerings and careers, market my services, host workshops at high schools and test prep centers, and engage with my network which includes admissions reps at colleges.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for everyone

Find multiple people who are doing what you'd like to do and reach out to them. Set up a time to meet for coffee. I also suggest reaching out to professionals who do not live in your region. Most will be glad to share what they know. Additionally, by broadening the scope of who you reach out to, you gather even more information about your intended career field.
