I help parents and teens create a bigger-picture plan:
one that leads to the right college, the right scholarships, and the right future.
Back when I went to college, I had no guidance.
Back when I went to college, I had no guidance. I had no idea what to study, or how to turn my degree into a real job. Even though I kept showing up and doing what I thought I was supposed to do, I found myself thousands of dollars in debt, with no clear path and no income to show for it. I remember feeling completely overwhelmed: I was stressed out, questioning everything, and silently repeating to myself: “I followed the rules, why isn’t this working?”.

Eventually, I realized that something had to change.
Eventually, I realized that something had to change. I couldn’t keep going through the motions, doing what I thought was “enough.” I discovered a PhD program that wasn’t just about becoming a better teacher, it was about understanding the inner workings of education and gaining the tools to transform it. What gave me the courage to move forward was a deeper awareness stirring inside me: I didn’t just want to teach, I wanted to change lives. I wanted to humanize education and create something that actually worked..

Years of teaching and earning multiple degrees gave me
Years of teaching and earning multiple degrees gave me the tools to create something different, a private high school where student well-being was just as important as academic achievement. I used the science of well-being to help teens not just succeed, but truly thrive. I’ll never forget the moment one of my students, who had struggled with dyslexia and low confidence, was awarded a full-ride scholarship to an outstanding college. In that instant, I knew I had made a significant impact on her life. It made every sacrifice, all the years of education and uncertainty, completely worth it..

I realized that teens need a mentor who can support them in this important process.
