In the time that I worked with Parmod I was able to start my journey to college. Parmod pushed me to apply to different schools that I originally did not think of. I was informed of many scholarships. As well as, informed of all my options based on my high school gpa and grades. Not only this, but Parmod created a comforting and open environment in which I could grow. I highly recommend!
