Due to the power of my network, I was offered this dream job; a placement at this beautiful elementary school that reflected my passion for the arts and science. Many of us can think back to a time where we were offered an amazing opportunity or...

September 4, 2017Why Entrepreneurship Skills Are No Longer Optional
I loved my major in college —psychology; the study of the mind and human behavior. From doing experiments with random students, like dropping pencils in their path to see if they would stop and help pick them up (which all depended on if they were occupied with another task or late for a class) to running the complex numbers in statistics, the study of the human mind was fascinating!
But...

November 10, 2016The Cost of Waiting: Why 12th Grade Can Be Too Late
Time is money. We’ve heard this saying applied to many different scenarios but when it comes to financing college, I usually hear the opposite. When parents ask counselors, “When should my child start applying for scholarships?” the common response is, “No need to rush. Wait until the beginning of 12th grade.”
I cringe every time I hear this.
Sadly, when parents...
February 15, 2016Educated and Broke: The Dilemma of My Generation and What To Do About It
People have asked why I have started Alumni360 and I start with this story.
There I was, sitting on my friend’s couch watching her two children run around playfully. She was telling me her story of how she and her husband thought they were making good choices.
