Whether you are returning to school, balancing coursework with work and family responsibilities, preparing an academic presentation, or working to become a more confident communicator, I provide individualized academic coaching to help you build skills, establish productive routines, and make consistent progress toward your goals.
I hold a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies from the University of Miami and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Florida International University. I bring approximately 20 years of educational experience teaching middle and high school students, professional coaching credentials, and direct experience as an Academic Coach. I work one-on-one with students through weekly online coaching sessions. I collaborate with students and parents to establish goals, clarify expectations, create feedback systems, and monitor progress.
My coaching approach is practical, supportive, and individualized. I help students identify their strengths, challenges, and priorities before developing strategies they can put into practice. Sessions will focus on academic goal setting, time management, study routines, assignment organization, online learning accountability, and maintaining motivation. I also help students strengthen communication skills through public speaking practice, academic presentations, classroom participation, college interview preparation, and essay and research communication.

I understand that every learner has different responsibilities, learning preferences, and goals. Whether you are an adult returning to college, an online student seeking accountability, or a student who wants to communicate ideas more confidently, I provide structure, encouragement, constructive feedback, and practical strategies. My goal is to help you become a more organized, confident, and independent learner while developing communication skills you can use in academic and professional settings.
