About Me

Academic Coach

My expertise is: As a university professor for some two decades, I understand what and how to

acquire the tools you will need to successfully navigate the completion of a thesis or

dissertation or Final Project no matter where in the world you choose to complete a tertiary

level education

My story: (in brief) I assumed that since I was not born brilliant, I did not stand a chance of ever

earning a degree. Eventually, I clawed my way through not one, but two degrees (I hold a

Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications and a Master of Fine Arts in Film & Television

Production). The latter I did on a full scholarship as well. My higher education in totality were

years of trial and error. No one told me, showed me or held my hand and led the way to

towards achieving these goals. I found the world of personal development and productivity on

my own.

I field tested nearly all the general tips and guidance I could find before coming to streamlining

a series of practices that is best suited to academic pursuits. I came to conclude that academic

achievement is less about talent and more about a commitment to process. Achievement in the

arena of higher education is an endurance race in which getting to the finish line is not a

magical feat, it is rather, an accomplishment for which having a method works best.

Having been there and helped many students through it within the structure of the

college/university system for many years, I understand personal performance at a level that

allows me to be even more targeted and therefore effective. The two main layers of my

teaching in the higher education system and having been a corporate communications expert

have merged to position me as particularly valuable to struggling students.

WHY choose me: because it's not magic, it's method

because all goals are attainable - with the right mindset and method

What makes me different: I have the right combination of experience (2+ decades in Higher Ed)

and skills (communication strategist) to help students understand the demands of higher

education, manage personal adversity to adapt, overcome and build resilience to complete

your degree.

My core values are: adapt, overcome and improvise

My personality is: straightforward-meaning no beating around the bush
