    Hey there,

    If you’re a current college student or a high school student preparing for college, there’s something important you need to understand.

    College is an investment. And an expensive one at that.

    You invest time, money, effort, and other (limited) resources. And in return, you get access to campus resources, alumni networks, employer events, student organizations, professors, and more.

    But here’s the thing — with so many options, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

    Which of these opportunities will actually move you closer to your target career? And how do you make the most of the ones you choose?

    As a first-gen college student in the U.S., I wrestled with these same questions. I wanted to make the most of college, but wasn’t sure which actions would most move the needle for me.

    What I needed back then was a strategy — and that’s why I created The Strategic Student.

    My mission is simple — to help college students get a positive return on their college investment by sharing actionable advice that moves them closer to their target internships and jobs. With the right strategy, any student from any campus can land any opportunity.

    No matter where you are in your college journey — whether a high schooler preparing for college, a first-year student exploring majors, or a senior in the job hunt — our resources, workshops, and coaching are designed to help YOU be more confident and strategic in how you navigate college toward your goals.

    College is an investment — let’s make sure you get a return on it.
