About Elizabeth:

I enjoy making trips to explore other cities, states, and countries. I love to visit college campuses when I am in a new city. I also like playing golf and boating.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with students and assist them in being successful in their college studies.

I am very passionate about finding what I call the "right fit" for students in higher education. Once a student has discovered their strengths, values and interests the path to success will be clearer. When this happens it is a wonderful experience to see students reach their higher education goals.

About Kathy:

I enjoy traveling since my family lives all over the U.S; UT football games with friends; I’m a Detroit Tigers baseball fanatic; I LOVE Elton John; I’m CRAZY about Nicholas Cage; I like golf, but only do it for “quality time” with my husband; and generally I like to keep up with my adult kids and whatever they might be up to–it’s always a surprise for me!

I want you to be successful in whatever you choose to do with your education. I enjoy helping students make decisions about academic programs and am happy to help out if you run into difficulties. Although it may seem like a long road ahead, it goes by quickly and YOU WILL make it. Never give up because it really does get better.

I am passionate about helping students to be successful in college. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of an education and it may be difficult to figure out what to do next. That’s when you need the support of someone who can help you to work through your situation, one step at a time. While I have special training in alcohol and drug abuse counseling, there may be many other reasons that cause you to be less successful than you want to be. My mantra is: don’t give up, find support, get better!
