Hi, I’m Lasse.
I’ve led career readiness workshops at 40+ universities and helped 5,000+ college students build practical strategies that lead to real outcomes — from grad school admissions to internships and job offers.

College gives you access to an incredible range of opportunities: campus resources, alumni networks, employer events, student organizations, professors who want to help, and more.
But the challenge isn’t access — it’s strategy.
With so many directions you could go, it’s hard to know which opportunities actually move you closer to your target outcomes and which ones are just noise. And even once you’ve chosen a path, how do you make the most of it?
As a first-generation college student in the U.S., I wrestled with those same questions. I wanted to make the most of college but didn’t know which actions would truly move the needle.
What I needed back then was a strategy — and that’s why I created The Strategic Student.
Because building a successful college journey doesn’t come from one big decision — it’s a series of intentional choices made over time. That’s why I partner with universities across the country to deliver practical, high-impact workshops — and share ongoing advice through my newsletter and LinkedIn, where students, parents, and educators learn how to make each semester count.
No matter where you are in your college journey — whether preparing for college, exploring majors, or searching for your first job — my goal is to help you approach college with confidence and strategy.
