Sole Sisters Podcast

As a parent and entrepreneur, I’m always exploring ways to enhance my life and that of my children. Parenting is a rewarding journey filled with joyful moments and challenges, and it requires continuous learning. Leading by example and improving our habits is one of the best ways to succeed in both parenting and business. James Clear's "Atomic Habits" provides incredible insights that have been a game-changer for me. In this eposide Jenna shares some key takeaways.

Welcome to another episode of the Sole Sisters Podcast. Today, we're thrilled to introduce a new chapter in our mission to provide top-notch college preparatory services. Jenna has recently hired Jennifer Severini-Kresock to work with her rising senior, Lucas, discovering a level of guidance she didn’t even know they needed.

Jennifer brings over twenty years of experience as a high school guidance director and counselor in the public school system. Recognizing the increasing need for individualized college preparatory services, she founded NEPA Career and College Counseling Associates in 2012. With ongoing budget cuts in education, Jennifer's expertise ensures that students receive the personalized guidance they need to reach their highest potential.

Regardless of a student's level or ability, NEPA Career and College Counseling Associates is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Jennifer's passion for helping students become ideal college candidates is evident in her approach. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree cum laude in clinical psychology and a Master of Science degree in secondary counselor education from Marywood University. Her professional development includes countless hours of conferences, college visits, and web-based learning.

Jennifer has lectured at the university level and received multiple citations for her professional excellence. She is excited to bring her enthusiasm and expertise to help students like Lucas achieve their educational and career dreams.

We’re also thrilled to invite our listeners to participate in a special Scholarship Party, hosted by Jennifer Severini-Kresock, Career and College Counselor, and owner of NEPA Career and College Counseling Associates. It will held on Sunday, August 11, 2024, from Noon-1:30 PM via ZOOM.

On this episode of the Sole Sisters podcast, we brought on a special guest, Mia Blume, to dive deep into the recruitment process throughout high school, AAU, and the transfer portal. Mia was a four year member of the Dunmore Lady Bucks, as well as a player for the travel programs of Keystone Karma and NEPA Elite. She breaks down what her recruitment experience had been like with little to no resources. For college, she played a season at Neumann University before transferring to Marywood University, but this time around she received guidance from Tara Macciocco with the transfer process.
