Hi! I’m Karen! I am an Academic Coach for Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology with a minor in Statistics from Rice University. I have been a Teaching Assistant for both classes and labs during my undergraduate program and enjoyed mentoring students. I love coaching because you are essentially working with another person to create a system tailored just for them! I want to help students to see that if you plan well, the executive will be significantly less painful. Hard work is important, but if you can make something easier for yourself and then work hard in that direction, you will be 10x more effective. I believe many of the skills you will learn and adapt for yourself as you navigate the education system will serve you for life!
