OUR FOUNDER
At The Core was founded by Beth Probst, a seasoned interviewer experienced in career development. As a manager with hiring responsibilities, Beth encountered many candidates who could not express why a job was a good fit for them. Beth clearly remembers her own decision process while choosing a college and major, and she recognized a tangible way to help students do it better than she did. At The Core was born.
Beth loves connecting with students and parents to put powerful and actionable information in their hands, so families feel less stress and more confidence. Beth calls Central Ohio home and is a proud Purdue Boilermaker who, in her spare time, enjoys reading, running, and traveling with her wonderful husband and two kids (both in college).
Beth speaks frequently about college planning. Her speaking gigs vary from large national audiences to small parent groups. If you are interested in having Beth speak to your event, please contact us.
