Academic and Athletic Support Specialist

My experience and expertise lies in multiple fields: sport psychology, writing centers, higher education, and human biology. Combined, I have a unique skill set where I help individuals plan, develop, and implement strategies strengthening their academic, athletic, and personal growth.

I specialize in working with individuals in providing personal support on issues ranging from academic assignments and projects to personal matters affecting the university, sport, and individual experience. This includes working with individuals and athletes on applying to universities, career selection (current or post-athletic-career), as well as returning to work and/or play following injuries, and more.

Academic Support Specialist

I am a professional writing tutor with over 10+ years of experience working with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in the USA and UK on a range of writing assignments. I utilize the Socratic method when working with students so they can strengthen their academic skills and become more self-sufficient.

Athletic Support Specialist

My professional practice derives from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT’s pedagogical practice is that we cannot change our thoughts but can only change our behaviors in response to said thoughts. All of my services, 1-to-1 and group consultations, as well as workshops, are underpinned by ACT.
