Dr. Tammy’s personal mission is clear: To provide counseling support that is not found in schools and colleges.
She has observed first-hand the insufficiencies of education counseling as a student, teacher, professor, administrator, and parent.
Academic advisement and career counseling is experiencing a dire shortage of counselors and advisors at all levels of education. It is now a struggle to schedule even 15 minutes with a guidance counselor or academic advisor.
These shortfalls leave room for questions like:
How can a student be sure they’re enrolled in the right courses?
Who can they turn to if they want to change their major but their counselor or advisor is unavailable?
Where can they find guidance on deciding whether to pursue graduate school?
What support is available for navigating complex college pathways or exploring new academic interests?
