STORY
The birth of STEM ADVOCATE LLC started with the founder’s natural willingness and desire to BE THE CATALYST in helping students’ STEM-related dreams become a reality.
Dedicating 1:1 time with students to help them navigate ‘how’ to arrive at a STEM-related undergraduate major (based on their skills, competencies, and interest) along with colleges/universities that would be vested in their success are critical components of graduating from college in STEM.
The creation of STEM ADVOCATE LLC came from simply wanting to leverage the gifts instilled in me (love for STEM, love for teaching, love for kids) and my work experiences in STEM to BE an example that goals are achieve-able with the discipline, commitment, and support! Students have what it takes in them (skills, innovative mindset, multiple resources, etc.), they simply need the right support network truly vested in their long-term success to extract it out.
And that’s what STEM ADVOCATE LLC is all about, enabling students to understand they can write their own narrative in STEM! AND TOGETHER, WE WILL!
