Hi! I’m Monica! I am an Academic Coach for Staying Ahead of the Game. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology and I have completed coursework required for the pre-medicine track. I also have experience working as a supplemental instruction leader, where I worked in courses focusing on physics, chemistry, biology, history and classical mythology. I have always enjoyed working with others and helping them to solve new problems. I enjoy helping students experience a-ha moments. I want to be able to show others the joy of finally being able to understand the boundless limits of their potential. I love helping students reach the point where they are not afraid of tackling problems for themselves and are confident in their ability to solve a problem they might have not been able to before.
