Career Counseling lessons in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Being raised by a single mom on the south side of Milwaukee, we never had a lot of money for me to go to College like I wanted to with all my friends. I just felt alone and confused. Left out really. Andrea helped me out of a deep depression even though she’s not a therapist. We didn’t actually sit down for formal advising or anything, but she worked with my mom to make payments and we went for walks at Humboldt Park. She really understood my background as an ESL student, but also being on the spectrum like myself and all the obstacles growing up on the southside in Bayview. Sometimes advising and mentoring doesn’t take place in books or on paper. Now I’ve been in MATC for about five weeks. I’m actually enjoying College and my friends are stressed out to the max at big universities with big tuition bills. It might sound crazy, but. Dea is my friend and she is a better teacher than any of my actual school teachers were. We still talk even though my mom doesn’t pay her anymore. That’s who Drea is to our family.

My parents wanted me to go to college immediately after high school. I definitely wanted to go in the military, but we agreed I would see Andrea first as a compromise. She helped me understand that a good compromise was taking a gap here. Now I’m volunteering at the Veterans home in Union Grove and I’m still not sure if I want to enlist or go to college but I’m learning more about myself. Thanks, Andrea.

Easygoing and made my anxiety immediately go away and it never came back. Andrea got to know me without making it feel like a professional interview or as if I was sitting down with some advisor or a parent. Super professional yet someone you would want to hang out with. I just hope she will be my mentor for the rest of my career. Definitely needs to raise her prices… 10 stars!!!!

Dope AF. Only wish I had her as an actual teacher before I graduated high school. Now I’m heading to the military way more prepared. Can’t wait to see her at my Boot Camp graduation. Then at my officer candidate school graduation after I come home and go to college while I am in the reserves. Thanks for all the knowledge Drea. Go Navy!

Only met with Andrea a couple times. My dad made me go. Her motto is work hard play hard. I never got to play hard because I didn’t work hard. Yeah that’s about all I can say. I give five stars, but I didn’t know her long enough
