ABOUT 

Transitions College Advising was created by Josephine Vonarburg to guide students with learning differences and their parents through the complex process of finding a college or other post-secondary program where the student can thrive both academically and socially. Her goal is to help students discover the different post-secondary options available to them, and to advise them as they make their transition from high school to college. She recognizes that every student has a different set of skills, interests, talents, and passions, and that each path to success will look different.

 

Josephine worked as a Learning Specialist at Fairleigh Dickinson University's Regional Center for Learning Disabilities for 15 years. During that time, she was a tutor, advisor and coach to students with learning disabilities and learning differences. Her focus was helping students develop the skills and confidence necessary to achieve success.

She has a Bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University, a Master of Education degree from Boston University, and a Certificate in Independent Educational Consulting from UC Irvine. She has been teaching and advising college students since 1992.
