Neurodiversity 101 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.

I welcome being part of your learning journey!
MADDY

Finding Focus ADHD Assessment Intake Coordinator
​
ADHD & ASD & AuDHD Coach
Academic Strategist
​​
With a background in disability advocacy and coordination at a variety of institutions of higher education, I have had the pleasure to connect with students various ways. I find my joy in creating safe spaces to break down barriers, question processes, and find creative techniques to support neurodivergent spiciness in a neurotypical world.
I have experience working with high school, university, and non-traditional students, with diagnoses of all types. Through my experiences I have created curriculum based around learning strategies, executive functioning skills, and student leadership and advocacy. I bring this knowledge and more into coaching through a social justice and strength-based lens.
My goal as a support system is to empower you to take up space, learn to develop your skills, and set and achieve your goals. I look forward to working with you through this piece of your journey!

Academic Coach
Educational Consultant

Supporting and guiding students has always been a passion of mine. I love witnessing when students start seeing themselves in the way I see them. I love being able to work with students and help them regain control and confidence to achieve their personal, professional and academic short-term and long-term goals.
Although I am a third generation teacher on my maternal side of the family, I am also a first generation graduate student, completing my Masters in Education on my paternal side. Being a first-generation South-Asian Canadian female, I know what it feels like to feel confused about my place and role in certain social settings. However, with over 6 years of peer-mentoring student athletes, 5 years of private tutoring and 2 years of teaching experience, my goal as an educator is always to make meaningful relationships with students by understanding who they are and where they come from based on their intersectional identity and positionality.
I know what it's like to not be seen or heard and what it feels like to be brushed aside because in certain places my personal, professional and academic identity was not understood. That is why I believe that making these relationships is vital in order for me to truly help students with their goals, rather than seeing them as just a number. I aim to always foster culturally-responsive and reflective work that can create a safe space to allow students to advocate for themselves and take control of their personal, professional and academic life.
Some fun facts about me, I was once an athlete myself (specifically I played Rugby and Basketball). I am also an extreme foodie, I love cooking new recipes and trying out new restaurants- wherever there is food, I am there!
TONY
he/him
Academic Coach
ADHD Coach
​
I am a certified primary, junior, and senior teacher in the Province of Ontario, where I have taught, supported, and mentored students at all stages of their academic journeys. As a teacher as well as a Student Success Coordinator, I am passionate about students achieving their academic goals. From learning the foundations of math to understanding phonics in elementary school to coaching learning skills in university, my goal has always been the same: to give students an exceptional student experience as a part of their learning journey. To me, student success has a different meaning to different students, and my goal is to help students define their own "student success" through student-centred and inclusive approaches.
I have a background in Psychology, International Education, and Curriculum Studies. I’ve also been a Student Success Coordinator for several years, supporting domestic and international students with their learning. A fun fact about me is that I have a goal to visit Canada’s national parks by the time I turn 35. I’m getting there!
AMANDA
she/her
Academic Strategist
I have worked with many students with a wide variety of disabilities in the post-secondary environment to achieve their academic and personal goals. I strive to provide support that is accommodating, welcoming and inclusive through individualized, strength-based, and solution-focused approach.
I would be honoured to meet you and discuss how I can be a part of your educational needs to support your growth and self-development. I specialize in supporting first and second year postsecondary students!
ELLIE
she/they​
ADHD & ASD & AuDHD Coach
Academic Strategist
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. I’ve worked for over a decade with neurodivergent/disabled students as young as 5, and ranging to students in post-secondary school.
I aim to support you in ways that are affirming, inclusive, individualized, and strengths focused to help you achieve and exceed your goals. 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, humanities related subjects, graduate and/or program applications, and learning technologies.
ALTHEA
she/her
Academic Strategist
I am passionate about enhancing and supporting student development, student success (academically and personally), and self-efficacy in university and college-level students. My goal is to work with students to develop their confidence, skills, and leadership capacity to optimize their experience while pursuing higher education.
My academic background in Psychology, and Student Development and Student Services, as well as my professional work in academic support programming and international education lend to my strengths-based and holistic approach to academic coaching.
As the first in my family to pursue graduate studies, I know firsthand how important it is to create spaces where learners can hone their strengths, challenge themselves, and reflect on growth. I look forward to working with you on your lifelong path to student development and learning!

ANICA
(they/she)
ADHD & ASD & AuDHD Coach
Academic Strategist
Educational Consultant
Corporate Trainer
​
My background in higher education, training and development, intercultural communication, and project management has given me years of experience working with students and professionals from all walks of life. As an Autistic ADHDer myself, I understand the classroom and workplace are not always neurodivergent-friendly and this motivates me to use my creative and pattern-recognition abilities as a catalyst for positive change. I believe that everyone deserves to and can become the fullest version of themselves and I am here to support and cheer you on along the way.
My special interest is ADHD and Autism, so I am always researching and learning more. My core values are authenticity, compassion, and holistic growth, which I weave into my coaching and consulting practices. I believe we are all worthy of belonging, doing meaningful work, and unconditional rest. I am also a first-generation Canadian-born child of immigrants, which has not only impacted how my neurodivergent traits show up but also how I've navigated work and school. I hope to share my experiences and learn from yours as we co-create ways for you to thrive.
Together, let's embark on a journey of discovery, transformation, and empowerment.

she/her
ADHD Coach
Academic Strategist
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.
