Golden Heart Awards 2025 Honoree

CORINNE BEATON

Supporting others has always been at the heart of everything I do. In my current role, I have the privilege of working closely with students and their families, guiding them through the often-overwhelming financial aid process. I understand how daunting it can be, so I strive to make the experience less stressful and more hopeful by offering clarity, compassion, and encouragement every step of the way. There’s nothing more rewarding than witnessing the moment someone realizes that college isn’t just a dream-it’s a real and achievable goal.

Before stepping into this chapter of my career, I spent several years working as a makeup artist. That work allowed me to connect deeply with people and help them feel confident, strong and beautiful in their own skin. I saw how even a small gesture could brighten someone’s day or shift the way they see themselves. The experience shaped my belief in the power of encouragement and personal connection.

Weather I’m guiding someone through the path to higher education or uplifting them through moments of self-confidence, my mission is always the same: to empower and support people in meaningful, lasting ways.
