It gives me great pleasure to recommend to you Karen Robinson, of My Student Services, LLC.  I have known Karen professionally for 18 years and continue to be impressed with her insight, creativity and knowledge of the post secondary educational environment.

As a student affairs professional who works directly with first year students, I know how important finding the right “fit” with a college or university can be in helping students to be successful.  Students considering college receive publications from a variety of institutions. Sorting through this information and deciding on “fit” can be an overwhelming experience of paperwork, interviews and campus visits for students and their families.

Karen can assist in demystifying the college search and admissions process. Her skills in advocating and coaching provide students that needed edge when applying for scholarships, admissions and financial aid.  Karen assists in orienting students to college by exploring career and major aspirations, what to expect from the academic environment, and how to negotiate living with someone else. Karen’s background in Student Leadership, Residence Life and Career Counseling will provide you with the necessary tools to find the right collegiate “fit” for your particular interests.

Karen possesses a passion for students and education as demonstrated by her work as a past PTA President and a member of the Mentor Schools Strategic Planning Committee. I engaged Karen as a facilitator for an all day professional in-service, and was impressed with her dedication, hard work and enthusiasm. It is a pleasure to work with Karen.

Her professional expertise and guidance are assets to all who have the opportunity to employ her services. It is a pleasure to give Karen Robinson of My Student Services, LLC my highest recommendation.  Should you require further testimony to her skill, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at ehiggins@uidaho.edu

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Higgins

Coordinator of Orientation & First Year Programs
