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.

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!
