Academic & Executive Functioning Skills Coach

Work with Me

I help capable yet struggling students identify strengths
and develop transferable academic and executive
functioning skills to learn more, show what they know, and
move swiftly toward their goals. I love working with
students with executive dysfunction, ADHD, intellectual
giftedness, and twice-exceptionality.
