Happy #TeamAmex Tuesday! Today, Liz from New York, shares how our College Coach benefit helped her and her daughter navigate the college admission process: I’m Liz, a Senior Manager in B2B Marketing, and I’ve been at American Express since 2014. While preparing my daughter to apply for college, I found out about Amex’s College Coach benefit, which gives us exclusive access to talk one-on-one with former college admissions and financial aid officers. Our coach went over everything, including standardized testing, financial aid and the admissions process. We even got personal advice on my daughter’s essay and a customized list of schools that matched her interests and experience. Resources like these can be incredibly expensive and challenging to find – having this personal support for my daughter and me (for free!) has been a huge relief for the both of us. I am so grateful to American Express for providing this benefit. It confirms that I am part of a company that cares about its colleagues and their families – through every stage of life.
