Coaching Mindset: I believe that coaching is about sharing your success story to empower the student. I believe it is the responsibility of the coach to encourage, support, and guide students toward resources that will positively impact their academic journey. The reward of coaching is to witness students taking their education into their own hands and using the skills learned to positively persist through academia.
