Discovering Hidden Strengths
As a career counselor, one of the primary responsibilities is exploring opportunities and guiding students through the process of identifying their true passions and core values. By having one-on-one discussions, I help students understand their skills, strengths, and areas of interest. This allows them to make informed decisions about the future and choose career paths that align with their personal goals.

As a guidance counselor, I assist in profile building, ensuring students present themselves in the best light to potential institutions and employers. Additionally, setting realistic expectations and discussing actionable plans helps students stay focused and motivated while pursuing their academic and professional dreams.
