When pursuing my Master’s degree, I completed my internship in the university’s student counseling office. That experience made me realize how much I enjoyed working with students. Upon graduation, I began working in higher education.
In previous roles, I focused a great deal on assisting students with overcoming obstacles to completing their education. I think this translates well into coaching at EdAssist as we’re often working with learners who have experienced (or are currently experiencing) similar obstacles. I like to take a focused approach to working through barriers to education and help learners have a clear path forward to accomplishing their goals.
