Name of Your Business
Chapman Education, LLC and College Axis Project (501c3).
How Does Your Work Enable You to Connect to and Fulfill Your Life Purpose/Passion?
I believe I was meant to work with and support students and their families. I have had the opportunity to really do this in a one-on-one setting through Chapman Education, LLC and I am thrilled to now have the nonprofit to help students in a blended setting where students who have socioeconomic means are able to connect with and learn alongside those who may not have means and may need financial aid. The goal is to be able to serve all students regardless of their background, as I have always believed that College Counseling and personalized assistance is something all students deserve to receive.
Who Is Your Ideal Client and Why?
My ideal client is a student and family who is looking for their best possible educational match and who want to be thoughtfully guided through the process of identifying these schools and putting forth their best and empowered selves to achieve their goals.
What Unique Offerings Do You Provide?
Thoughtful 1:1 guidance regarding the process and expertise around building the strongest profile possible for each student and guiding them through a process methodically and honestly. The nonprofit offers a library of resources and a free meeting that helps the student focus on their specific process, timeline and answers any questions about the process and the profile that students may have.
