Would you like a personal navigator to help you with organizing homework, enhancing communication skills, excelling with work-life balance while returning to school? Besides a Masters in Education, I have a PHR (Professional in Human Resources) certificate and currently helping clients with effective job search with ATS (Applicant Tracking System). Your resume words are important to catch the eyes of the robotic scanner. I facilitated ESL (English Second Language) classes for 30 different cultures so accustomed to helping clients enhance their English communication skills.. I liked communication so much that I joined Toastmasters in my spare time. I won their first competititive debate discussing whether cats are better than dogs.

From my undergraduate degree in psychology, I understand we all have unique gifts and ways we want to improve. In addition, I was also trained at Duke University as an Integrated Health Coach so I can give tips on resilience and focus for career transition using your transferable skills.

I facilitated ESL (English Second Language) classes for 30 different cultures so accustomed in helping clients enhance their English communication skills..

I look forward to empowering you either catch up or excel! See you soon on the remote WyzAnt platform!

Public Speaking

Do you need help with the fear of public speaking? Public speaking is rated as the number one fear of all people-young and old. Besides practical tips to feel relaxed and self-confident, you will also learn to incorporate ways to build rapport with your audience and command attention. Decide whether you need to inform, persuade entertain or a combination. How important are props, music, your voice tone and PowerPoint? Learn the answers to leave a memorable impression with your message. I have a Masters in Education and taught public speaking at University of Phoenix and Hewlett-Packard (individual basis).

I have worked with kids and adults successfully with ADHD one-on-one and in experiential classrooms. I also participated in trainings for ADHD coping skills developed by a psychologist. In 2013 I was accepted and completed the Duke Integrated Health Coaching Foundation. My BA is in Psychology and Masters in Educational Technology. Also I took 300 hours of Whole Foods Nutrition. I,along with researchers, believe that children's food, exercise and medication affects their focus. I currently work with students to help them focus, catch up and EXCEL by learning strategies to accommodate their learning style.

Supportive and Helpful Career Coach

In these past few month, Ginny has helped hold me accountable in making bite-sized progressions with my accounting career, and has helped create a space where I could discuss and talk freely about my interpersonal experiences with work without judgment. For a professional who is new to the workforce and needs guidance on what to do next in their career, Ginny is the right career coach and teacher to connect with!
