ELLIE

she/they​

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, arts/humanities related subjects, graduate and/or program applications, Learning technologies.

DRAGANA

she/her

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.

KIM

they/she

ADHD Coach

Family Coaching

​

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. 

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.
