Analytical, Intentional, Empowering
Hi! I’m Jasmine! I am an Academic Coach for Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I earned my Bachelor of Behavioral Health Sciences from Boston University, where I built a strong STEM focused academic foundation grounded in research, data analysis, and evidence-based practice. My passion for math and science began early through years in a math and science intensive school environment that shaped my discipline and love for analytical thinking.
I have extensive experience supporting autistic learners through ABA across a wide range of developmental stages and specialize in structured, individualized approaches that promote both academic and social-emotional growth. I also have experience supporting students with dyslexia using targeted, research-based interventions to strengthen reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence. In addition, I participate in the University of Houston’s STELLAR Program in partnership with ExxonMobil, where I continue refining my instructional strategies and evidence-based teaching practices.
I chose SAOTG because I believe growth happens by intention, not by accident. Staying ahead means anticipating challenges, creating strong systems, and building learning environments where students feel capable and prepared. What I love most about coaching is helping students shift from “I can’t” to “I understand.” Seeing confidence grow through structure, strategy, and consistency is what motivates me every day.
