In this conversation with Hilary Lefitz from The College Advisor, she discusses how to avoid the pitfalls of drug and alcohol abuse as student and other dangers of campus life that can have lasting repercussions, academically, emotionally, and legally.
Hanna's path to becoming an IEC is an interesting journey. After flunking out of high school, she spent two years working odd jobs before applying and being accepted Bryn Mawr College. From there she transferred to Harvard and went on to earn a J.D. from Harvard Law School.
During her time as a campus tour guide while an undergrad at Harvard, Hanna discovered her unique path to college could help others. Eventually she left practicing law to become a full-time IEC, specializing in educational crisis management.
Hanna helps college and graduate school applicants who have to explain an educational interruption or disciplinary record due to mental illness, substance abuse, suspension, expulsion, criminal charges, Title IX problems, etc.
