Meet Tiffany Green, a therapist and expert college counselor and the founder of Uprooted Academy™, an ed-tech platform designed to give students courage, confidence, and competitiveness in the college application process.  Uprooted Academy is known for its signature offering, "College Apps: 12 Steps to Finding Your Match©.” Focusing on Tiffany's passion for understanding and helping alleviate educational anxiety for students, the college readiness program incorporates mental well-being and social-emotional learning while affirming different parts of their identity. In addition, providing the "cheat code" hidden from low-income, first-generation applicants could be vital in minimizing the social capital, opportunity, and wealth gap.
