If you made it here, you might be looking into continuing your education for any number of reasons. But, if you are like other people who think about contiuing their education they are too overwhelmed to know where to start. They are so scared by the confusing choices, options, applications, tests, and paperwork, they often get no farther than just dreaming about continuing their ecuation.

I want to help you to coninue your edcuation, in whatever form is best for you. I want to help you define your educational needs and goals and help you negotiate the confusing maze of applications, tests and paperwork to implement your goals. I want to help identify the areas where you need attention such as test prep for admissions. I also want to help identify possible sources of financial assistance to help acheieve your goals.

I am a Developmental Advising Specialist, otherwise known to most as an academic advisor at a major land grant university in the notheast United States. I have worked with all ages of people with varying goals throughout my ten years as an academic advisor. I am very proud and happy to say that those who I have advised rate me the best influence in their edcuational endeavors. My goal has always been to provide all options available to a person in a non-judgmental manner. I know the need of listeening to others carefully to best assist them. I have always enjoyed working most with average people, like me, who only desire to make their life better through education.

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree from West Virginia Wesleyan in 1986. I received my Master's in Education from West Virginia University in 1992 where I specialised in Educational Leadership. I have been a member of the National Association of Academic Advisors for over 5 years. I had the opportunity, a few years ago, to present the results of my program to assits at-risk students at a national conference of this Assoication.

Give me a call and lets talk. I don't promise magic answers. I want to help you meet your education goals.
