Practice description
Andrea Coupe (CA), an IEC for the past 25 years, brings her commitment for lifelong learning to every interaction with her clients who describe her as enthusiastic, resourceful, and dedicated. She is grateful to her mentors through the years who encouraged her first as an adopted child and later as a first generation college student who graduated from Miami University. Andrea speaks conversational Spanish and French as she lived in Luxembourg during her Miami years and is also proficient in American Sign Language learned while living with her deaf grandmother. Prior to her IEC experiences, she focused her academic efforts on teaching her students how to love to read and write as well as the coordination of financial aid gap funding in her role as Vice President of the Stephen J. Weaver Foundation. She is known for creating an upbeat, organized and confidential environment where she guides students through the college search experience to find the best match which often include international options for consideration. Her highly personalized interactions fit the learning style of each student from more than 70 different high schools, domestically and internationally. Andrea's passion for higher education has impacted hundreds of students and families, inspired her visits to many college campuses and offered her insights as she served on the High Point University Admissions Advisory Board since 2014. Most recently she trained to administer the Highlands Ability Battery so she can offer past and current students a vision for their future goals based on concrete data about their unique pattern of natural aptitudes. Andrea and her husband have three grown children and make their home in Southern California. Her hobbies include making new friends everywhere, cooking with her Instant Pot, reading voraciously, gardening year round, traveling the world, and supporting research and fundraising efforts for the Cancer Support Community.
