I help middle school, high school, and college students who feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, or unsure about their future build structure, improve academically, and create a clear college and career plan.

I hold a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and I am a Florida-certified educator. In addition, I am a certified Highlands Ability Battery® Consultant and a Strong Interest Inventory® Practitioner. With over 15 years in education, I specialize in supporting students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges, helping them develop the organization, focus, and follow-through needed to succeed—not just in school, but beyond it.

College & Career Exploration

As a certified Highlands Ability Battery® Consultant and Strong Interest Inventory® Practitioner, I guide students in understanding how their natural abilities, thinking patterns, and interests connect to real-world opportunities.

Together, we:

Identify strengths and how students learn best
Explore career paths that align with their abilities and interests
Connect academic subjects to real-world careers
Evaluate college majors and long-term goals
Build confidence in decision-making about the future
My Coaching Approach

Every student begins with a session to understand their strengths, challenges, and goals. From there, we create a structured, personalized plan designed to build both academic success and long-term direction.

Students receive:

Weekly coaching and accountability
Practical strategies to improve organization, focus, and independence
Clear steps toward college and career goals
Let’s Get Started

If your student is capable but struggling with organization, motivation, or direction, I can help them gain the structure and clarity they need to move forward with confidence.

👉 Let’s connect and build a plan that works.
