College I graduated from:

Why I work at CSF:

For the past 11 years I worked in a college setting, preparing student athletes for college graduation.  Along with playing a Division 1 sport, my role as their coach was to guide them through the college journey, helping them make decisions that would benefit their future after college.  I gained valuable experience helping both high school students, as well as junior college students navigate admissions applications, financial aid processes, and the transition into college.  Beyond the formal aspects of being a college student I had life shaping conversations around changing majors, applying for scholarships, advocating for self, getting a job, balancing school and life, and mental health.  I believe the work CSF is doing is to improve lives and make college attainable for all is invaluable to a thriving society.
