Kimberly C. Hastey, PhD

What Parents and Students
are Saying...
"Helpful! That is the BEST word to describe Kim and this program. My son was getting overwhelmed with too many options in college. We were happy and grateful that Kim helped him focus on 3 or 4 areas. I liked how her advice was personal, just for him. For me it helped me see how to get opportunities for my son. Even talking to a friend of mine who works in a job he might like. Our meeting was just really helpful and eyeopening. I honestly wish we had done it sooner."

"I'm thankful because our son went from not having a clear vision about what was coming after high school and I didn't know how to help. He seemed anxious because it was a lot of pressure, and he didn't want to make a mistake. He now seems to understand why he's choosing what he's choosing and also feels more comfortable about what's coming next. I even see an excitement for college."

"I got to see the possible careers out there. It showed me the jobs that would fit me the best. Right now it was good to do because it helped me figure out what classes I want to take at BHS and MST next year."

"Thank you so much for all the tests and analysis! There was a lot more there than what I was expecting. You are so kind and easy to talk to. All of your input really gives me a lot to think about. Some of it was surprising, but most of it just made sense."

"Start Here helped me understand myself better and uncovered a passion for engineering that I didn't recognize before. I feel much more aware about what I'm doing and optimistic about the future now that I have gone through the program. Also it was definitely right about the jobs I'd hate doing!"

"I was surprised by some of the things my son is interested in that I didn't know about. I enjoyed learning that about him, and then talking about classes he can take. I feel like it helped me understand him a little better and how I can help."
