Hi, I'm Chastinee!
I am a postsecondary success strategist, educator, and doctoral candidate focused on strengthening postsecondary readiness, access, and success. My work bridges K-12 schools, higher education, and community organizations, helping students, educators, and leaders navigate complex systems with greater clarity and purpose. Through research, consulting, and professional learning, I translate complex ideas into practical strategies that improve opportunities for students. I also lead the Southland Readiness Project (SRP), an initiative focused on helping students and families navigate postsecondary pathways with clarity and intention.
Postsecondary readiness strategy and consulting
Professional learning and workshop facilitation
Student success coaching and resources
Research translation and systems-informed planning
Helping people help themselves has always been at the center of my work. I believe lasting change happens when people have the knowledge, tools, and confidence to move forward on their own.
I'd love to hear what you're working on and explore how our paths might intersect. Reach out with a question, an idea, or an opportunity to collaborate. I'd love to connect.
