Are you struggling to choose a major, career path, or next step after high school or college? I help students, student athletes, and educators gain clarity through research-based career assessments and structured career advising.
My academic and professional background spans education, academic coaching, and career development. I hold a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and a teaching certification in Social Science for grades 6 through 12 with a Gifted Endorsement. I am also a Certified Financial Education Instructor and a trained consultant in both the Strong Interest Inventory® and the Highlands Ability Battery® — two of the most research-validated career assessment tools available today. My undergraduate studies in Political Science and Women's Studies, alongside graduate coursework in Latin American Studies and Middle Eastern Studies, give me a broad, global perspective I bring into every session.
My teaching experience spans classroom instruction and one-on-one coaching with students from middle school through college. I taught social studies in grades 6 through 12 and have since channeled that experience into individualized career coaching delivered online. My approach begins with validated assessment, moves into a personalized debrief where we interpret results together, and closes with a concrete action plan tailored to each student's goals, timeline, and circumstances. Whether a student has no idea what they want to study, is questioning a major they've already declared, or feels caught between their own dreams and outside expectations, I provide the structure, tools, and encouragement to move forward with genuine confidence — not just as a tutor, but as a thinking partner.
