Students have many questions about their college major and their career options. They are often pressured by family, friends, and professionals to declare a major. In response to this stress, students often choose a major or career direction before they have had a chance to explore even one option.

Her goals are to help students to clarify their areas of curiosity and to provide guidance and support to them as they begin to explore their curiosity and interests.
