Ms. Robbie Garnett
Welcome!
My professional journey has been quite diverse. In high school, I knew that I enjoyed math and science, but choosing a career path was a challenge. However, those strengths and passions led to a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. With that, I was able to experience various roles, including working in a lab, industrial engineering, and applications engineering. Still, my enjoyment of meeting and working with people while having new challenges on a daily basis was not yet fulfilled. That is when I found my stride as a technical sales representative.
Life took a new turn when I became a mother to two wonderful daughters. After balancing motherhood and career, I eventually decided to take a 13-year hiatus to focus on raising them. During this break, I explored real estate, running my own prop design and fabrication company, and helping my husband with his contracting business. All these experiences were valuable, yet I knew I needed something more. That was when I discovered the opportunity to become a career coach. Every day is unique, and I find immense joy in helping students as they navigate their own paths towards success.
Beyond my professional pursuits, my husband and I make the most of life's opportunities. We love to go boating in the summers, skiing during the winters, and cherish every moment spent with loved ones during social and family gatherings.
Please check back often to stay updated on any career exploration opportunities happening throughout the year.

I am thrilled to share my experiences and help you prepare for a fulfilling future!
