Description of Experience : Melissa began her career as a Career and Technology teacher helping students explore their academic and career options while teaching business and technology concepts. Her desire to further her career led her to pursue a Master’s in Educational Administration, but up on completing that degree realized her true passion was in the counseling office of the high school. Melissa began working with students to find their path to college. This led her back to school to get her second Master’s in School Counseling. Melissa supported students at the high school for over a decade then found her way into the independent educational consultant world. Through the years of experiences of working with students, Melissa established a system and tools to more efficiently guide students while keeping their eyes on the goal of the future.
