I see unique skill sets in those children who struggle academically. Unlike those who grasp concepts quickly, those that have struggled have an unrivaled superpower: sense of drive. Determination and hard work are a constants for them. When students are equipped with stronger cognitive and processing skills, they become an unstoppable force. 
​
My personal experience includes facing struggles to achieve as an elementary student.  My parents knew I was a bright child but could not understand why my grades were not reflective of that. After working with a cognitive trainer through the PACE program for twelve weeks, I improved in all my subjects. My feelings regarding school had completely transformed. 

 

These improvements enhanced my school career in a way I never imagined. Before PACE, school was a source of frustration and struggle. After completing the twelve-week PACE program, school became a place where I began to appreciate the joy of learning.  To this day, I am thankful for my disability because it taught me the power of hard work and perseverance. I am even more grateful, however, for the PACE program that was the springboard for my educational journey. ​
​
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and two minors in Education and Marketing. I then went on to receive my certification as a Cognitive Trainer through Processing and Cognitive Enhancement (PACE) and Master the Code (MTC) programs, the very programs that facilitated my success so many years ago.

 

I have the confidence that through my Cognitive Training program, I can help end students' academic struggles. I have the passion and desire to help children achieve their full potential.
