ABOUT US
During our 35 year friendship we have navigated the ups and downs of high-school, university, marriages, and parenting.
​
We are both passionate about helping youth move towards independence, setting goals, and achieving their dreams.
​
Both professionally and personally, we have supported thousands of students navigate the post-secondary transition to colleges, universities, skilled-trades programs, and GAP years.
