What do I enjoy most about being a college consultant?
I enjoy how students feel empowered to make an informed decision about college after working together.

Monique’s individualistic approach stems from over 20+ years of experience in Special Education in the classroom and administration. She has experience working with almost all of the 14 disabilities defined by IDEA. Monique is able to adapt and modify student workloads according to their needs. Monique uses data derived from assessments and interviews to deliver holistic college planning. She believes in students being informed and empowered by identifying strengths and interests to drive their decision-making.

Monique is an entrepreneur at heart. She has created nonprofit and for-profit companies and produces comedy shows to add more humor to our world! Monique likes to spend time with her nieces and nephews, volunteers, and reads in her spare time.
