I am passionate about and am a long-time advocate for education. With a B.S. in Education from the University of Memphis, a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA, and as an academic life coach, I am passionate about education. I have been involved in education for nearly thirty years. My involvement spans from working in classrooms across schools of various socioeconomic backgrounds, curricula development, volunteering for educational advocacy groups, starting programs in schools, and tutoring,

I highly value living a purpose-driven life and believe knowing who you are in both good times and challenging moments is crucial. This understanding inspired me to create a process that helps students better understand themselves at a younger age, identify their values, and recognize how values evolve. Students use this information to select schools that meet their unique needs. It helps them make choices that positively impact their lives. I am passionate about working with students and families and dream of a world where everyone who seeks an education can assess a quality one.
