My name is Ms. Kauser and I am the College & Career Specialist at Prospect High School. I am originally from India and spent most of my growing years in Dubai (a city in the Arabian Peninsula). After my undergraduate degree, I worked in an international airport as a flight dispatcher/loadmaster.

In 2013, I moved to the US with my husband and four kids. I taught math and science as a part-time teacher for several years. When my oldest son started high school, navigating classes and college preparation prompted me to get a Certification in College Admissions & Career Planning from UC Berkeley Extension. This allowed me to work as an admissions reader for UC Berkeley Undergraduate Admissions and Haas School of Business' Undergraduate Admissions for the past 4 years. I recently completed a M.S in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. 

In the last five years, I have been a part of students’ journeys to several top-tier institutions in the US and Canada as well as internships/careers in several fields. I am excited to work with Prospect students, help them plan their post-Prospect paths and present themselves confidently in their college applications.

You can contact me via email ([email protected]) or visit me at the College & Career Center, located in the Student Union. You can also schedule 1:1 appointments below.

Prospect School Counselors offer students support in the achievement of high school goals and preparation beyond high school.  The counseling department regularly works with students, parents, guardians, staff, and teachers to help ensure student success. We meet with students individually, in groups, and during class visits throughout the school year.  Click here for more information on how to work with your school counselor.
 
Students can drop-in during break, lunch, and after school or make appointments to meet with their school counselor one-on-one, through Canvas or email, at any time throughout the year. Parents and guardians are welcome to schedule a meeting or contact their student’s school counselor via Canvas, email or phone.
