In school, I noticed students who blurted out answers, constantly forgot homework, missed application deadlines or put off studying for exams. While working, I saw clients who never organized their financial records, neglected to file tax returns or forgot to pay their bills on time.
After researching ADHD, executive function and learning differences, I realized that many of the people who had passed through my life experienced similar challenges, affecting their school life and their adult life as well.
As a life coach, I am passionate about helping clients manage their lives better so that they can experience more success and less stress and frustration.
COACHING EXPERIENCE/EDUCATION:
