Hi! I’m Anal! I am an Academic Coach for Staying Ahead of the Game LLC. I have a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Food and Science from Univesidad Iberoamericano in Mexico City. I have a certificate in Organizational and Humanistic Coaching from the International Coaching Technologies, and I am currently pursuing a certificate in Leadership Training and Youth Leadership.
I have had several years of experience working with students both as an academic support and as an emotional support. I enjoy coaching with SAOTG and helping my students to become better versions of themselves. I always challenge my students to see how great they are and much greater they can become. As a coach, I love to help my students find purpose, motivation, and build fun and challenging goals to make their academic journey an awesome experience. I always encourage my students to trust themselves and to know they are better and more capable than what they think they are, and it is up to them to push themselves in the right direction.
