Equipping people with skills for the launch to adulthood.

Welcome!

I’m Kristin, a college educator who helps young adults navigate the transition from student life to early adulthood. We often hear pop culture and social media reference college as “the best four years of your life,” but what happens when getting there or graduating are more challenging than you expected? Join me to learn key skills, habits, and evidence-based practices to ease the transitions from high school to college, and to post-graduate life.

    Students who intentionally prepare for the adjustment to college-level coursework perform better academically than their peers.
