Background

About Kelly Fields

I always knew that I wanted to be in a profession where helping people was the main goal. It was during my high school years when I realized that school counseling was exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UConn where I was also a member of the track and field team. I was lucky enough to receive my Master's degree in Educational Psychology with a concentration in School Counseling from the same university. I have been working as a high school counselor for five years now, which has shown me, first hand, just how stressed high school students are about the college search and application process. As a high school counselor, I am formally trained in post-secondary readiness including career and college major exploration, the college search and the college application process. As a former Division I athlete, I am also well versed in the recruiting process and the NCAA Eligibility Center. I am hopeful that my services will help students and families view this process as a rewarding experience instead of a stressful one.
