About Me
Supporting Students and Athletes in Balancing Education, Sports and Social life.
As a former international student-athlete, I understand the complexities and pressures of balancing academic and athletic commitments. My global engagement with students has equipped me with valuable insights that I am eager to share.
I am passionate about helping students navigate their academic journeys by providing various student services as well as help define and match students with both local and international education programs. An Academic coach can help you design unique and stimulating individualized experiences, including full and part-time programs, exchange opportunities, summer schools, and study abroad experiences for students of all ages.
For student-athletes, I recognize the additional demands and pressures that can impact both academic success and sports performance. My goal is to provide tailored Academic Coaching support to help them balance their dual commitments effectively, ensuring they excel both in their studies and on the field.
Additionally, I work with professional students—those who are supported by their parents, scholarships, organizations, funding, or charitable sources. I help these students make the most of their opportunities by guiding them in selecting the right programs, managing their academic responsibilities, keep up with personal and student life while leveraging their resources to achieve their educational and career goals.
Academic Planning & Design

The student services and success session guides you through college preparation, admissions requirements, exam preparation, student life, finances, and identifying what to study and why. Academic coaching helps you understand your goals and choose the best school and program for you.
Benefit of Coaching: Gain clarity on your academic path and make informed decisions.
First-Time Students:
Establishing tools and systems early will help you balance academics, organizational skills, study volume, and time management. Tips on lifestyle and health management will help you boost productivity, ensuring you balance work and play while dealing with peer pressure, academic stress, and anxieties. Benefit of academic coaching: Develop a strong foundation for academic success and well-being.
Current Students:
Staying on track takes more than good grades. Academic coaching helps you build study routines, manage deadlines and course load, stay motivated through stressful semesters, and plan internships and experiences that prepare you for your first job.

Academic Experiences
As a dedicated Academic and Career Coach, I specialize in supporting students through their academic journey and beyond. I work closely with individuals, organizations, and institutions to provide comprehensive support in Academic Coaching, Student Services, and entry-level Career Coaching. My focus is on creating a Personalized Academic Coaching session to help you define and design an academic path that leads to exceptional educational experiences.
With student services I assist college and university students of all ages in finding and applying for admissions into study programs, managing school enrollment, securing funding sources like scholarships, and crafting compelling motivation letters for undergraduate and graduate programs as well as executive and adult education.
Moreover, I prepare students for the various demands and expectations of student life, including navigating immigration requirements, securing financial support, and overcoming cultural challenges. My goal is to ensure that you are well-prepared for every step of your academic planning and career path.

International Students
Embarking on the incredible journey of being an international student comes with its unique set of opportunities. I’ve personally walked this path, starting my journey as a full-time international student-athlete in the USA, playing basketball during my final years of high school. After four years of college basketball, I graduated in 2008.
It’s essential to tackle the ongoing challenges of studying abroad—being far from home and family, navigating unfamiliar languages, and embracing multicultural environments—to fully savor this experience. There are numerous ways to enrich yourself abroad through summer school, full-time programs, and immersion experiences.
What are the Benefits of Coaching for Students?
I provide international-students with tailored guidance to overcome academic and cultural challenges, ensuring a successful and enriching study abroad experience.
Student-Athletes
Excelling in academics is crucial for seizing the opportunity to play sports. Your coach likely chose you for your athletic prowess, which is both exciting and a bit perplexing. States of Excitement as well as Nervousness can sometimes feel the same. Learn to control this.
The life of a student-athlete is demanding, both on and off the court or field, whether you participate in individual or team sports. Balancing a full-time class schedule, dedicated practice times, maintaining grade standards, keeping your body in top condition, and the pressure of retaining scholarships creates a challenging lifestyle.
With over 20 years of experience in amateur and college sports, I’ve learned that managing the quality of your relationships with the institution, coaching staff, and fellow athletes significantly impacts your performance, happiness, and success.
Emphasizing time management is a key indicator of success for top-performing student-athletes. I can help you do this!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is academic coaching for?
High school, college and adult learners, international students, and student-athletes who want support with planning, study habits, admissions or their first job search.
Do you help international students?
Yes. I help with choosing programs, admissions and motivation letters, funding and scholarships, and adjusting to studying in a new country.
How do you work with student-athletes?
As a former international student-athlete, I help you balance classes, training, grades and scholarship requirements, with a focus on time management and performance habits.
How long is a session?
Student Success sessions are 30 minutes, live online, with a personalized follow-up email.
Can I reschedule or cancel my session?
Yes. Use the reschedule or cancel link in your confirmation email, at no cost. Your session is valid for 30 days from purchase, so please use it within that window.
What if I miss my session?
A missed session is forfeited. If you reach out within 24 hours of the original start time, we will rebook you once as a courtesy. Sessions end at the scheduled time, and arriving more than 15 minutes late counts as a missed session.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final. The only exception: if it becomes clear that you need therapy rather than coaching, your fee is refunded.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Coaching is a forward-focused partnership that helps you clarify goals, build skills and take action in your career, job search and workplace. It is not therapy, counseling or medical care, and it does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If it becomes clear during our session that you need therapy and I am not able to work with you, your session fee will be refunded, and I will encourage you to contact a licensed mental health professional. If you are in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988.
