Meet Our Academic Coaches

Natalie Nava-Herrera
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I believe in the power of potential, sometimes we just need a bit of guidance to see it in ourselves. I want students to know they are capable of more than they realize, and with the right strategies, support, and mindset, they can get through any challenge.

My Favorite Study Hack: Turn studying into teaching, if you can explain a concept in your own words as if you're teaching it to someone else, then you know you truly understand it.

Kiswend Sida Kabore
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I was once a student, and I understand how important it is to have someone with whom you can share your strengths and weaknesses without fear of judgment. That person can motivate you and help you uncover the potential you have to achieve your academic goals.

My Favorite Study Hack: My favorite study hack is to create self-tests after each study session. This helps ensure that I fully understand the material I just studied.

Christina Wright
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I coach because as students college can be a handful and I want to inspire students to overcome their academic struggles to thrive with good study habits, time management, and self-confidence. Coaching helps me grow in communication and supporting others.

My Favorite Study Hack: My favorite study hack is active recall by teaching yourself and others while planning and spacing out your workload to work efficiently.

Hazel Avila
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I coach because I love sharing my knowledge with others, helping them improve their lives. Seeing people grow and succeed through what I teach is truly fulfilling.

My Favorite Study Hack: My favorite study hack is pretending to teach a concept out loud or explaining it to a friend. It helps reinforce my understanding and makes the information easier to remember.

Perla Pimentel Cuello
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I decided to become a coach because I understand how challenging it can be to develop effective study habits, especially when you're feeling stuck or unsure where to start. I want to support others through that process, helping them find strategies that work for them and build confidence along the way.

My Favorite Study Hack: My favorite studying hack is that at the beginning of the semester, I add all the exam dates to my schedule and plan my study sessions accordingly.
