Guidance Coaching

About Me

I am a Western University graduate with 25+ years of experience in the broadcast industry. I have lead teams in programming and writing. While having gone through the university application process with my daughter and her peers, I can be a useful resource for students seeking help in this area.

Coaching Areas & Expertise

I have completed intensive training through Youthfully, a leading educational organization that focuses on helping students fulfill their career, education and personal potential. As an accredited and certified Academic Youth Coach from The Centre for Credentialing & Education (CCE), I look forward to assisting clients navigate the challenges and obstacles they might be facing and give them the tools and support they need to reach their goals.

I am versed in problem-solving to assist students narrow down their program choices. I am a personable and enthusiastic individual who wants her help clients feel comfortable and confident with their future goals. I enjoy working with students to help them understand what is important and to learn more about their strengths even if they may not realize them. I am approachable and thrive on making matches in order to reach a decision. Having worked with several high school students on their applications, it is rewarding to see how well they are thriving today.

The Importance of Youth Coaching

Thinking about post-secondary options can be an exciting time for students and their families as they begin to plan for the future. It’s a chance to explore new opportunities, follow passions, and take important steps toward achieving long-term goals.

However, this process can also feel confusing and overwhelming—especially if you’re unsure about what you want to study or which career path to pursue. Even students who have a clear area of interest may find it challenging to navigate the wide range of programs, institutions, and admission requirements.

Evaluating all options carefully and making informed decisions is essential, and having the right guidance and support can make all the difference.

Following the Youthfully model, skill development, personal self-assessment tests and coaching are provided to help analyze a student’s personality, interests, skills, values and aptitudes to navigate educational pathways.
