Amanda graduated from college with honors, got her diploma and had absolutely no idea what she was going to do next. After a few years of poverty, she wised up and went back to grad school to get her master’s degree in career counseling. She’s spent most of her career teaching and guiding students in high school and college settings. Her focus is helping students AND their families map out a plan for career success. Amanda’s passion is helping students make intentional choices that will lead them to successful and fulfilling careers.
