I'm deeply committed to supporting students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges. Drawing from my own experience with ADHD, I intimately understand the hurdles of maintaining focus and completing tasks. My goal is to share my journey and assist students in discovering strategies that resonate with them. My coaching approach is centered on connection. Years of travel and interaction with diverse cultures have honed my ability to connect with others. When devising personalized strategies for my students, I integrate their unique challenges with parental support to create a uniquely tailored plan. One of the most common challenges I encounter is working with students who initially feel resistant to coaching. I address this by prioritizing the establishment of rapport and demonstrating that coaching is a collaborative effort aimed at helping them organize their lives and create more free time for the things they love. A typical session with me involves building rapport through conversation, reviewing information, completing small tasks, and addressing any challenges with existing habits. To keep students engaged and motivated online, I remember essential details they share and follow up on them. Parents play a crucial role in the coaching process. I keep them informed about their child's progress and collaborate to find the best solutions. My future goal is to continue learning from my team and incorporating new strategies to improve my coaching sessions.

• Traveling – At the age of 18, I embarked on my travel journey by joining a cruise liner, which I continued for 6 years, enabling me to explore 58 countries across the globe.
• Food – I love food and trying different cuisines from around the world (I just wish I could cook as well)
• Speaking to people – Through my travels, I discovered a deep affection for connecting with people from all corners of the world, relishing the opportunity to engage with them, learn about their life stories, and forge meaningful connections.
