What students are saying.

  • “This is the first time I’ve ever felt like a student (instead of a student with a learning disability), and that I’ve learned as I’ve studied. (Usually I figure out how to pass the classes as I go, then figure out what I was doing and why later.) For the first time ever, I enjoy being a student. Thank you.”

  • “Walking through my journey of life, I met an angel named Andrea. The first day we met I was bitter, angry, and lost. All I wanted was to follow my dream. I screamed at you, I acted out, I rolled my eyes. You smiled and went out of your way to help me. We have been through a lot. Words can’t describe my feelings for your support. ”

Early in our work together she helped me identify my natural strengths as well as areas of my life that needed extra attention. her compassionate listening skills combine with her experience coaching students with unique needs to inform a perspective that's attuned to equity and access. Whether it's sorting through the clutter of my everyday life or setting long term goals and action plans, Andrea supported me step by step.

  • "Andrea, I just wanted to let you know that I finished my final and I’m off to Disneyland to celebrate being done with college. Thanks so much for your help every semester. I doubt that I would have ever come close to finishing my degree without our meetings and check-ins. Without your support I would have had to put my college education on hold while I went to doctor after doctor. "
