You’ve heard the news: We now live in a knowledge economy, in which employers value brains (and technology) more than backs. You fear that you, an adult with years of "old-school" work experience, are being phased out ... and the nagging voice in your head is telling you to go back to school.
You may think you cannot afford the money — or the time, or the effort — needed to go to college. Or that you can’t possibly succeed in school. But there are ways to overcome the obstacles you face.
Let’s get together for an hour to discuss: funding college, getting accepted into college, finding help if you struggle as a student, and more. For a nominal consultation fee, I provide guidance and tons of information you can use to research further. (All the information I provide is available for free online; however, I provide a road map for navigating the overwhelming process of searching for answers.)
Oh, and I have done it myself. Going back to school as a working adult was one of the scariest steps I’ve ever taken, but it has paid dividends!

Let me introduce myself!
I chose to enter the field of adult and
continuing education because, having undergone cataclysmic changes in
both my personal and professional lives, I know how frightening change can be. I began my adult life as a teenage mother, for example, and I lost my job as a
journalist during the industry’s downsizing.
My husband I were both raised in poverty; he was the child of hard-working family dairy farmers, and I was a child of divorce and welfare. We pulled ourselves, and our children, out of poverty through hard work and education. It was never easy. But education made it possible.
Once we started, we couldn’t stop! Between us, we have several professional certifications, a technical diploma, an associate degree, two bachelor’s degrees, and two master’s degrees. We learned how to navigate the world of higher education, and I would like to help others make their way.
In other words: I came to love school as adults, and I wish you the same quality experience!
