Hello Pirates!  Welcome to the Riverside High School Next Step Advising cove! I'm Bethany Holmes, you Next Step Adviser for the 2025-2026 school year. I can't wait to get to know you and talk about your post-seconday plans!

Heres a bit about me:

I grew up in a small town called Lexington, NC. After completing high school, I went to Davidson College, where I double majored in Psychology and Educational Studies. This past spring I graduated with a Bachelors of science. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, baking, reading and spending time with my friends and family! In the future, I plan to puruse a career in adolescent counseling or occupational therapy. 

As your Next Step Adviser, here are some things that I can help you with:

• Building your College List

• FAFSA

• RDS

• Scholarships

• Resume creation 

• Job searching 

• Professional development tips
