“Julia Rogers has been a featured speaker at our High School’s Gap Year Fair for the past several years. She is an engaging presenter who is able to make the information relevant to both parents and students. What’s more, she is personally familiar with the Gap Year experience, and can relate to what our teenage students and their worried parents want and need to hear. Her presentations are filled with stories that are real and authentic, and that makes them particularly engaging. I always come out impressed with the clarity of her presentations, and she always receives great feedback from our parents and students.”
