The True Compass Advantage
Unique Assessment Process
​
True Compass offers unique assessment tools that help you objectively see yourself - your talents, your core personality traits. The aptitude assessment we utilize requires completion of timed exercises that helps you understand how you are wired.
​
​
Personalized Approach
​
Assessment tools on their own do not always tell the whole story. We want to get to know you as an individual and understand you as a whole person. The value of what we offer is in our personalized approach to each client, guiding you through the interpretation of assessment tools to help you determine which aspects are most meaningful to your unique situation. Tools alone do not always present a clear picture. We want to get to know you as an individual and use these assessments as tools to help you know yourself.

Education and Certification: B.A. University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana M.A. Temple University, Philadelphia Certified Highlands Ability Consultant, Certified Myers Briggs Type Indicator
​
I am passionate about helping people discover and celebrate their strengths so they can pursue careers that truly fit who they are. Through certifications in the Highlands Ability Battery and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, I have guided hundreds of students and adults in making confident career decisions through the True Compass assessment process.
​
Before founding True Compass, I spent 25 years working as a speech-language pathologist, serving children and families in schools and clinics. In that role, I specialized in assessment, treatment, and consultation with parents and teachers to ensure students received the support they needed to thrive.
​
My work became even more personal as my four children began exploring their own college majors and careers. Seeking the best tools to guide them, I discovered aptitude testing and found it invaluable—not only for the insights it provided, but also for the meaningful conversations it sparked. That experience deepened my fascination with self-awareness and inspired my transition into career consulting.
​
Recognizing the need for a more personalized, holistic approach to career guidance, I partnered with Robyn Jackson to develop what would become True Compass. Together, we created a process that combines the power of assessments with thoughtful, individualized guidance—helping clients uncover their natural gifts, preferences, and pathways toward fulfilling work.
