Meet the Founders
After completing her Advanced ICCE certificate, she had to figure things out through trial-and-error. She won scholarships worth over $50,000 and studied in Switzerland.
In Switzerland, she worked as an Academic Mentor who supported freshmen from Norway, Germany, and Italy. She graduated a semester early, with honors and also had four admissions to world-renowned universities for her graduate studies. Her experience is used to show others how to get into university, and graduate successfully.
