Ruth Brodsky received a B.S., M.Ed., Ed.S., and Ed.D. in special education at University of Maryland and George Washington University. Her specialty areas included learning disabilities, transition to post-secondary options, and educational leadership. Ruth has taught in both the public and private sector, working in K-12 settings. She has also supervised and mentored new teachers in a large urban school system. Ruth has taught at local universities, working with undergraduate and graduate students who were studying to become teachers.

Ruth is a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) and continues to build her skills by attending professional conferences and visiting colleges to gain first-hand knowledge of the campuses. Her interest in the field of college consulting developed while working with the young adults in high schools, but her most rewarding experience was supporting her own three children as they navigated their paths beyond high school. As a volunteer, she continues to mentor young adults in their pursuits.
