Experience
As the primary academic advisor for a local graduate school and a strong background experience with education and educational psychology, I regularly see what it takes for students to get into and excel at high levels of education. With training in vocational coaching and discernment, I help students not merely succeed where they are, but also discover, connect to, and come alive in their long-term academic goals. Training in academic and life coaching, vocational discernment, and years of teaching and tutoring students from kindergarten through graduate school helps me work to help you find success no matter your age. While I didn't have to take the SAT where I grew up, I did score high enough on my PSAT to become a national merit finalist. I got a composite 31 on my ACT including a 36 in reading. I scored a 472 on the Miller Analogies Test, needed for entrance to my graduate schooling. This ranked me in the top 99.9th percentile. Every test has a system and I love helping people figure out how to use the unique system of that test to vastly improve your score. Don't just get tutoring to pass now. Unleash your potential and launch the path to your future!

Hobbies
As a former college swimmer, coach, and life guard, I love anything in or near the water. Some of the best experiences of my life have been travelling and exploring new places, gathering to play games with friends, and deep conversations about what makes us come alive. I keep bees and am always excited to share about my local honey and the curious life of bees. I also love to paint, draw, write, and curl up near the fire with a good book. I am fascinated by the process and psychology of learning I am always working on a project or research to help develop and understand how we grow and reach our dreams.
