Reflection Pathway
Discover your INterests & strengths
Pathway 1
Reflection
One important key to a successful career is identifying something you enjoy doing and something that you are good at. Dr. Tammy’s Pathways approach starts with the Reflection Pathway where students identify their personal interests and strengths, and then explore how this can potentially lead to a more meaningful choice of college major and future career.
In Dr. Tammy’s experience, there are many parents who think that college now is like it was when they were in college. However, this is not the case. College administrators drive enrollment through the creation of new college degree programs at the both community college and 4-year college levels. For example, at Dr. Tammy’s undergraduate alma mater there were 64 undergraduate degree programs when she went to college and there are 276 today. This increase in the number of majors, most especially majors that do not lead to meaningful employment, drives the need for assistance when choosing a college major.
Many students have no idea of what to choose as a college major. And the majority of students do not truly understand how a college major leads to a career. They seek advice from friends, teachers, guidance counselors, and their parents. And sometimes they also receive unsolicited advice from well-intended people in their lives. What is missing is the opportunity to personally reflect on what is meaningful to them and have someone who understands how to take this knowledge to the next level. This is where Dr. Tammy comes in. Having worked in private industry in many different roles, fields and companies along with her 20 year career in academia helping guide students, she has the unique ability to provide meaningful advice to students.

Reflection - Pathway Package
Dr. Tammy's Concierge Service is the perfect way to have unlimited student support. You can seek advisement from Dr. Tammy on any higher education or career topic.
Navigating college can be complicated. During the school year, there are many decisions to be made in addition to focusing on coursework and doing well in school. Dr. Tammy provides the student support to respond proactively and timely to all of the challenges that students face. This includes the following (but not limited to): Planning and registering for coursework, having career search materials prepared and ready for internships and entry-level jobs, as well as knowing how to make a transition or pivot if you feel like you're on the wrong pathway.
Most college advisors are specific to a certain major/department, which means that they can advise only on the subject matter as it relates directly to a student's major. Many of these advisors are also "stretched extremely thin", which results in "the squeaky wheel getting the oil". Also, many of the career advisors in higher education have only worked in academia, and they don't always provide the best career advice for a corporate job. Unless a student is highly proactive and resilient, they can become lost when trying to figure out how navigate the higher educational system in order to graduate and get a job.
Dr. Tammy's multifaceted experience provides the support for students to succeed. Since some students require more support than a package or a few 1-On-1 Sessions provides, Dr. Tammy offers her concierge service as a way to provide meaningful support should it of interest for some students.
