About Blythe | Consultant & Founder
Blythe Waltrip worked in Title I public schools for ten years teaching a variety of AP history and AVID elective courses as well serving as the AVID Program Coordinator at multiple sites. AVID is a national program focused on preparing students from all backgrounds for college. It achieves this by strengthening the reading, writing, and organizational skills of all learners and by providing significant guidance throughout the entire application process. This unique experience gave Blythe the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the college preparation, application, and financial aid processes and allowed her to gain significant experience in guiding students from a multitude of backgrounds.
A graduate of University of California, Santa Cruz, Blythe received her B.A. in European History before attending California State University, Channel Islands where she earned her Social Studies Teaching Credential in Secondary Education. Currently, Blythe is in the final stages of earning an Independent Educational Consulting Certificate from University of California, Irvine.
As an independent educational consultant, Blythe operates as an objective third-party who is passionate about sharing her knowledge. To maintain currency, she is committed to visiting dozens of university campuses annually and attends professional development conferences. Ultimately, her goal is to assist students and families so they can navigate a complicated process by making thoughtful decisions. She strives to inspire students to take charge of their college-going experience and empower them to make informed decisions about their future in order to prepare for life after high school.
