Ground
It’s rare to have dedicated time for self-reflection and we encourage all applicants to take this as an opportunity to ground yourself during this time of transition – who are you? What motivates and inspires you? By using a mindful approach to this self-exploration, we can dig deep and explore thoughtfully.
Grow
Ultimately, you are reaching for something – that’s why you’re here. With this strong foundation, we hope you will grow into this new chapter. What do you want in this next experience?

I was grateful to have her assistance throughout the process and was confident she genuinely cared about my son’s success.””
