Our Story

A Commitment to Inclusive Excellence

AGBE Consulting was born out of a passion to level the playing field for all students pursuing careers in STEM, medicine, law, business, and the humanities. As a first-generation scholar and leader, the founder, Dr. Slaughter faced countless obstacles in navigating the complexities of college admissions, scholarships, and career advancement. Driven by these personal experiences and a deep-seated commitment to making a difference, AGBE Consulting was born to provide guidance, mentorship, and professional development for students and professionals looking to advance in their career. The goal was clear: Create opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds to succeed and thrive in the pursuit of their careers, while helping them access prestigious scholarships, internships, and programs. 

Leveraging an expansive network across universities, businesses, and government agencies, our approach is multifaceted.

By crafting innovative programs and providing personalized consulting, her mentorship has produced numerous notable scholars, including Rhodes, Marshall, Gates-Cambridge, NSF GRFP, NIH G-RISE, and Goldwater Scholars. She has also helped countless individuals secure scholarships, land internships, and position themselves for long-term success. Many of her mentees have joined the workforce or pursued academic careers.
