Since 2009, she has helped students understand the value of education and strives to define what success means individually.

She reminds foster youth of the importance of finding something they are passionate about and giving it all they can.
In this webinar, Dr. Keating will share her foster care journey, challenges, successes and why she believes that education goes far beyond a degree.
