Since childhood, I've had a profound interest in psychology and human behavior. Following my passion, I obtained a PhD in Social and Personality Psychology. During my time in graduate school, I worked closely with students as a teaching assistant as well as in a general mentorship capacity. I worked one-on-one with students to help them improve their professional and academic writing, most often helping students improve the quality of their essays, research papers, and graduate school applications. This included helping students improve their writing by working on their language choice, structure, and overall flow. This also included teaching students how to conduct a literature review and read academic journal articles effectively.

Fun fact: this experience inspired me to write my first academic book resource on how to conduct an effective literature review! 

​

Outside of academia, I have had a life-long interest in spirituality and have been on my own self-development journey for many years. The path of inner growth and self-development has been my constant companion, a transformative journey undertaken over many seasons. Embracing challenges, overcoming obstacles, and evolving through each chapter, I've discovered the incredible power of resilience and the boundless potential within each of us. The pursuit of self-improvement has not merely been a goal but a way of life—an intricate dance with adversity that has sculpted my character. 

 

Through life's challenges, I've learned that growth knows no age, and the journey of self-discovery is a marathon, not a sprint. It's about unearthing the depths of one's capabilities, understanding the nuances of resilience, and finding the strength to embrace change. Through setbacks and triumphs, I've come to appreciate the beauty in the process, understanding that every setback is a lesson, and every triumph is a testament to the power of the human mind and spirit.

 

Life's journey, with its twists and turns, has become a testament to the transformative power of continuous learning—a journey that I hope inspires others to embrace their own evolution and self-discovery and pushing the boundaries of what they thought was possible. After all, in the grand scheme of life, every lesson, every challenge, and every triumph is a transformative and empowering lesson waiting to be unveiled.

​

My personal philosophy centers around fostering growth in both academic and personal realms.

I believe that the pursuit of knowledge should be a life-long practice and that everyone should strive for continuous self-improvement. By doing so, I believe this helps you grow as an individual throughout the different seasons of your life, while experiencing the transformative impact of education and self-growth.

I am honored to be part of your journey and to help you get to where you want to go.
