EMPATHY
MY APPROACH
I am first and foremost an educator who believes that learning empowers people to understand their situation, be aware of opportunities to change their lives, and take actions to make the desired changes.
Throughout many years of teaching, advising, and coaching students, I have encountered many bright and creative students who struggled academically and were finding it difficult to adjust to college life due to their ADHD or ADHD-related symptoms. When I witnessed those students unable to fulfill their potential, I was motivated to pursue training in ADHD life coaching.
I am confident that with the right support, encouragement and academic guidance all students can be successful!
My passion to help students reach their full potential prompted me to complete the courses Coaching Teens & College Students with ADHD and Empowering Students Through Coaching offered by Jodi Sleeper-Triplett, the world-renowned expert in ADHD student coaching.
