Rockell is the founder of The Scholar Budget, a professional speaker, author, and scholarship coach.

As a first-generation college student, Rockell wasn’t quite prepared for all that college was going to throw her way. Luckily, after doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result (insanity), she realized her habits needed to change if she wanted to succeed.

Now, Rockell uses her failures, lessons learned, and successes to show students that it can be done. She aims to help her students develop a game plan to graduate from college, minimize their need for student loan debt, and help them become well-rounded individuals who can achieve their goals. This mission echoes the sentiments of every educator, director, counselor, administrator, and parent.

Rockell totally understands these goals, which is why she collaborates with professionals to help students develop the essential skills and habits that lead to success in school, work, and life.
