Here are the questions we covered in the interview.

1. Monique, when we talk about education, this can be a sensitive topic with parents and children alike, I believe, because of the importance of the topic. I want people that listen to this video today to understand your knowledge and background in education to set the foundation of our conversation. Tell us about your background as an educator.
2. Why did you start AdviseUWise?
3. Given today's climate around education, COVID-19, and the shutdowns, and their impact on getting the proper education to our rising seniors in high school, and quite frankly, students at all levels in the education system, how can AdviseUWise step in to help both parents and students navigate these uncharted waters?
4. Personally, I have an upcoming 6th grader and an upcoming 9th grader. We finished out the last 9 weeks with online classes, which I know my wife and I felt the quality of the education lacked. In fact, students were essentially guaranteed their grades...my son did not receive a grade. Our district is essentially offering 3 options. 1. Go back to school, and that will start as one day at campus, and one day online alternating. 2. Online. 3. Online with UIL/Sports on campus. How can AdviseUWise assist in making sure these students, whatever option they choose, are prepared and ready if they make the decision to go off to college?
5. Do you see AdviseUWise as a resource to help parents in these times, and how can they connect with you to learn more about the services you provide?
