Use what works! Data-supported strategies backed by research in the neuroscience of learning!
Apply Science-Based Study Skills
By targeting patterns that leave us feeling overwhelmed, our workload becomes much less intimidating!
Identify Unhelpful Behaviors
Practice is the key to progress! Focused, intentional repetition will build the skills we need for success.
Practice Positive Strategies
Get out of your head! Let's rewrite the narrative and shift our perspective towards self-empowerment!
Overcome Limiting Beliefs
It's all about trusting that you know what you know - each session will build confidence so you're ready for any test!
Face Your Test Anxiety

Who am I?

Experienced Teacher & Academic Coach,

Most Importantly,
I've been in your shoes!
Before I graduated high school with a 5.0 GPA and the title of "Student of the Year", I was an average (and often anxious) student with little organization and too much workload.
I've been in your teacher's shoes!
Having taught professionally at both the High School (Biology, Anatomy, Forensics) and Middle School (Science, Math, Computer Science) level, I act as the bridge between you and your teachers.
​
I'm very passionate about what I do!
My first job in high school was as a tutor, and I've been teaching ever since - for nearly 15 years! My goal is to inspire a love for learning with each session.
​
I know how to keep things interesting!
Whether in a classroom, in the jungles of Costa Rica, on a double-decker bus, zipline, or kayak - I can reach any audience (and I have plenty of good stories!)
I'm a little "outside of the box", in all of the best ways!
I'm not afraid to get creative when designing a strategy that fits your unique skillset, or finding new ways to explain and explore a concept so it really sticks!
I'm a First Generation College Graduate!

Graduated Summa Cum Laude Honors in 2.5 years
