After nearly failing out of college my first semester, my loving parents hired an AD/HD coach for me.  I hated going to those meetings.  As an athlete at a top ranked Division 1 university, I was adamant that the term "coach" was reserved for athletics.  Within weeks of meeting with my coach I saw marked improvements in my life.  In fact when my mother called me to ask how it was going I responded "my life is making sense."  Upon finishing my sessions with my coach my G.P.A and self confidence was solid, and my goals were set on helping students similar to myself....

I am a Massachusetts native, the only girl and youngest child of three.  Upon graduating from UConn with a degree in Psycholinguistics  I taught  Expressive Language Arts and Oral Expression at the Landmark School in Prides Crossing Massachusetts.  Landmark works exclusively with students with Language Based Learning Disabilities and AD/HD.  During my time at Landmark I completed a Master’s of Science Degree in Education with a specialization in Moderate Disabilities at Simmons College.  At Landmark I had the unique experience of living in a dormitory with roughly 23 Dyslexic and AD/HD students.  Interesting experience.  Stay tuned for that book, titled “What was I thinking?”

In 2006 I accepted the position of “Learning Disability Specialist” at Northeastern University’s Disability Resource Center.  This position allowed me to play the role of advocate, advisor, coach, tutor, counselor, mentor, strategic planner, and friend to over 200 students.

Currently, in addition to coaching college students I am working on a Doctorate in Education at Northeastern University.  My research is focused on the transition of students with AD/HD from high school to college. 

Due to my own personal experiences I could not be more invested in working with college students to realize their potential and "make sense of their lives."  

My passion for AD/HD coupled with my experience and motivation catalyzes my drive to help students in their transformation from a "kid with AD/HD" to a "driven and focused adult."
