Personal Project

Navigate College

The Navigate College website I created is a personal project to start a depository of information pertaining to adjusting to college for both students and families to access as a resource guide of information. While still a work-in-progress, the website has provided me with the opportunity to explore my creativity in website development, writing blogs, creating social media promotions, and most importantly provide a valuable resource to college bound families.
