Over the past fifteen years, Joan has worked closely with a multitude of families with a variety of goals. She has come to realize clients need more than just guidance through the college application process. Many of her high school clients began contacting her for advice and counsel as they navigated difficult or confusing circumstances in college. Whether a student was considering a course of study/major, updating their resume, or communicating with a professor, advisor, or potential employer, Joan provided support and guidance. Joan’s college counseling business has naturally evolved to include college, career and beyond. With the addition of the Birkman Signature Self-Assessment, Joan continues to serve as a sounding board and consistently trusted resource to help guide her clients through their journey as they “Launch to Life.”
