Welcome To Wiz Kidz!
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 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.
