I am here as a resource for students and parents to help kids navigate their journey after graduation. Students with questions are encouraged to come see me during lunch, Academy, or 7th period. Students and parents can also make an appointment for a 1-on-1 meeting.

Each month I publish a newsletter full of helpful information and articles. Weekly we contribute information in the Parent's Club eNewsletter. Please read and take advantage of these resources.

Every year I work hard to see each student at Campolindo as follows:

• Freshmen: Students are introduced to the resources available in the College & Career Center.

• Sophomores: Sophomores are re-introduced to the College & Career Center; how to use Naviance, navigate Campolindo, take personality and career assessments, research college majors and careers, and understand the current college landscape.

• Juniors: Juniors are shown how to plan for life after graduation (college or career); taught how to make a college list and shown the necessary resources for college planning.

• Seniors: Every fall Seniors are our top priority as the college application season begins. Students are told how to create an appropriate college list; shown Senior checklists; and taught how to use Naviance, complete college applications, and write college essays. Students who don't want to attend college after graduation are shown how to research alternative pathways.

We created the College & Career 101 website as an online tool for students and parents to understand the college and career planning process and to get quick answers to their questions. Please look there first whenever you have a question. Access it by clicking the link in the menu above.
