Meet Emily

I grew up in a modest home, fueled by curiosity and a desire to understand the world around me. Those early experiences — along with global travel, education, and years of working with young people — shaped my empathy, communication, and problem-solving skills.After more than 15 years in the education world, I began to notice something important:
Students were capable and hardworking, but many lacked clarity about who they were and where they wanted to go. Parents wanted to support them, but didn’t always have the tools.That’s when my purpose became clear.Today, I help students and their families move from uncertainty to confidence. Using research-backed assessments like the Highlands Ability Battery® and the Strong Interest Inventory®, along with personalized coaching, I guide students to:Understand their natural strengthsExplore academic and career paths that truly fitBuild motivation, identity, and directionMy mission is simple:
To help every student discover who they are, what they’re capable of, and how to build a future that feels meaningful and exciting.Education & CredentialsEducationMaster of Arts in Liberal Studies – University of MiamiBachelor of Arts in Political Science – Florida International UniversityCertificationsCertified Highlands Ability Battery® ConsultantStrong Interest Inventory® PractitionerFlorida Certified Educator
