Focus
:I became a Highlands Certified Consultant because I believe every person deserves to understand their natural abilities — not just their interests or grades, but the deep, innate strengths they were born with.
Experience
:I’ve worked with high school students navigating college decisions, college students figuring out their major and career path, and adults who are ready for a meaningful change. What they all have in common is a desire to live and work in a way that feels true to who they are.
My approach is grounded in the Highlands Whole Person Model — a framework that looks at the full picture: your natural abilities, personal style, interests, values, and life goals. Together, we use that picture to build a direction that’s genuinely yours.
