Postsecondary Planning

College Counseling

During my time at Mundelein High School as a College & Career Resource Center Assistant, I designed various tools to increase communication and aid students and families with college planning. Additionally, I created and managed social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter), the MHS College Corner YouTube channel, and contributed to the College Planning Guide. I invite you to click on the images below to explore samples of my work.

I translated the same version of the 2019 newsletter to Spanish to connect with our Spanish-speaking families. 

College Students
Access College Fair Packet

This Lake County college fair broadened access to college planning resources by inviting bilingual (English/Spanish) representatives to engage with our community.

Career Counseling

At Addison Trail High School, I am developing my career counseling skills by connecting students with opportunities to explore alternative postsecondary options such as certificate programs, trade school, or joining the military. 

Field Trips

During my internship year at Prospect High School, I organized two field trips to assist students with their postsecondary planning. The first was for the 22nd Annual Latino Summit. It was hosted by both National Louis University and Harper College. The second field trip was to Elk Grove High School for a mini Skilled Trades Fair Field trip.
