  • I can't remember the last time I felt so calm and composed regarding post-secondary education before being mentored by Minna. She is meticulous, resourceful, and very intelligent. She has helped me navigate my career pathway and introduced me to a variety of academic opportunities. Without her guidance, the process would be immensely difficult and far more tedious, luckily her programs and services shed light on the core roots of education which are imagination and creativity. If there is anybody to look up to, Minna is a smart choice.

She focuses on principles and educational material that you cannot get from traditional school systems. They are building great leaders here!
