Welcome
Joanna Severino
Educator, Founder & President
Prepskills & US College ExpoJoanna Severino is the Founder & President of PREPSKILLS and the US College Expo. Joanna has been an educator for over 25 years, helping students to excel in achieving important milestones in education. For many Canadian families, applying to private schools and US colleges can be daunting. PREPSKILLS helps navigate this process by giving families the tools, resources and connections to maximize opportunities. Joanna created the US College Expo in Canada and PrepConnect events to help families explore their educational pathways. Education is really about resourcefulness. As a certified teacher and passionate mom-preneur (mother of 3 boys ages 14, 11, 8), Joanna is always looking for ways to ensure that students connect with these opportunities and get the valuable information they need to make informed decisions about education.
STEM and Authenticity in Applications

Jann (Jeannette) Lacoss
Associate Director of Admissions
California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
Jann is an educator at heart. She started her professional career teaching Russian language, literature, and folklore at university level and leapt into college admissions. She is the first in her family to earn a college degree, and with her alphabet soup of degrees (A.A., B.A., M.A., Ph.D.), there’s enough to go around. She is passionate about college access for first-generation and underrepresented students. Her field of study is folklore, and she is always open to hearing jokes, legends, and other lore. Her research deals with the nasty stories and jokes that teens and pre-teens tell, as well as memes. She is the mother of a college first-year student and can crochet just about anything.

The Journey to the CFL
Matt Black
Former professional Canadian football defensive back
Black was born and raised in Toronto and spent his entire 10-year career with the Toronto Argonauts after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2008 CFL Draft. The defensive back reached the pinnacle of the sport twice during his career, winning The Historical 100th Grey Cups in 2012 and 105th Grey Cup in 2017.
Blacks commitment to community was recognized in 2016, when he received the CFL’s Jake Gaudaur Veterans’ Award, which recognizes a Canadian CFL player who demonstrates the attributes of Canada’s veterans: strength, perseverance, courage, comradeship, and contribution to Canadian communities.
The Saginaw Valley State University product announced his retirement from the CFL in April 2018 after appearing in 127 games and now serves as the teams’ Player Relations Advisor.
NCSA Next College Student Athlete
Scott Lefker
Director of Regional Recruiting & Team Solutions, NCSA
Scott graduated from the University of Cincinnati. He has been involved as a High School Coach for over 25 years. In that time period he has coached, Baseball, Wrestling, Track & Field as well as Football. Scott was the Head Football Coach for 10 Years and was voted Coach of the Year 3 of those years, Qualifying for the State Playoffs two years (4th and 5th time in school history). Coaching High School Sports has always been a passion of Scott. He love the challenge that high school level of competition presents. The progression of a young athlete as they grow physically and mentally into a competitor as well as a teammate and mentor is admirable and to be a part of the process of shaping a student athletes life is very rewarding.
Small. Consistent. Actions. – Sam Demma
Sam Demma
Youth Motivational Speaker
High Performing Student & PickWaste
At 20 years old, entrepreneur, youth coach, and keynote speaker Sam Demma doesn’t let his age define his drive or credibility. His goal is to provide people of all ages with the tools and strategies they need to become the change-makers in their schools, businesses, communities, and in the lives of those around them. And it all started with…garbage. At the age of 17 he co-founded PickWaste, a grassroots initiative that brings people together to pick up trash in their communities. That experience confirmed to him how small actions can have a big impact, and he lives that message in all he does.
In a few short years his inspiring and entertaining presentations have reached thousands of students across Canada and his High Performing Student program has made a difference for young people in 6 countries around the world. He’s delivered two Tedx talks, he is the youngest Professional member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and there’s no limit to where small actions will take this big thinker.
Live Performance AGT Golden Buzzer Finalist
Roberta Battaglia
Singer/Performer
Roberta is an extraordinary young lady filled with hope, courage and inspiration. Although only 11 years old, she is an old joyful soul who captured the hearts and votes of Americans, not only with her extraordinary voice, but also with her passion and character! We are very proud of Roberta’s AGT finalist accomplishments and success.
Roberta’s advice to young people is simple and direct:
“Always follow your dreams and never stop believing in yourself. I believe every child — every person — has the potential to do whatever they put their mind to.”
