I’m passionate about supporting each student in their individual path, and working with you to develop strategies that help you best get what you want out of education- with particular attention to neurodivergence/disability as it is experienced and lived with.

My background is as an educator working with disabled students, and my current work as a PhD student is rooted in critical disability studies and intersectionality to think through educational solutions that empower neurodivergent folks, led by students themselves. I would be honoured to support you in academic strategies, arts/humanities related subjects, graduate and/or program applications, Learning technologies.

The privilege I have had to witness students learn who they are and watch them grow into the person they want to be has always been the best part of the education system for me. As the first one in my family to achieve a Masters degree, I know firsthand how important it is that we create spaces where learners can hone their strengths, challenge themselves, and reflect on their growth while simultaneously creating pathways to success. My background in Psychology and Higher Education helps to inform high impact programming and holistic support for students. I look forward to working with you on your lifelong path to student development and learning!

DRAGANA

Supporting and guiding students to achieve their academic goals through individualized avenues is my highest priority. My passions remain in fostering safe and proactive environments where post-secondary students can grow professionally and personally at their own pace. I have
dedicated my academic and professional career to working with students in early childhood and post-secondary settings with varying abilities, goals, and dreams and have had the privilege of watching them flourish. I have years of experience working in education in teaching, research, and administrative roles. Currently, my work as a doctoral student is rooted in educational philosophy and ethics to explore experiences of difficulty and trauma in educational settings,
particularly as they pertain to student’s explorations of selfhood. My goal is to offer diverse strength-based and person-oriented approaches that take into consideration your unique history,
learning styles, and experiences and help you surpass you ambitions.

Corporate Trainer
I'm passionate about supporting and destigmatizing the way people view and experience neurodivergence. My primary goals as a coach are to empower folks to recognize their intrinsic worth and building systems together to address the rest. I believe that everyone is sovereign and worthy of meaningful support, compassion and respect. I have a diverse background in supporting and advocating for children, youth and families from varied levels of intersecting experiences and systemic marginalization. Should we walk this path together, you can expect to be treated with unconditional acceptance, patience and understanding.
LEIGHANN
she/her
Academic Coach
Supporting children and youth has always been my passion. My main focus in my studies is how I can better support youth and their mental health. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for clients to share their needs so we can work together in creating a plan to achieve their goals. Although my professional experience has taught me a lot, it is my personal experience with mental health that has been my biggest mentor in life. It has made me empathetic to those who face their daily battles, as well as an advocate for those who need it.

HEATHER
she/her
Life Coach
Coaching is my passion. As a coach for over a decade in both academic and corporate spaces, I’ve learned that all growth journeys start with self-love. Centering my work from a heart-space and my own journey as a queer woman with strong intersectional politics, I support clients in adapting to change, becoming more mindful, transitioning from scarcity to abundance, and working through personal barriers. Whether you are looking for a new direction, re-evaluating an old relationship or coming to terms with a current life transition, I would love to be your anchor; someone who will support you in finding balance, resiliency, and self-advocacy when there is turbulence around you.
