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.

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.

Renieka Turner
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I coach because I know what it feels like to be a student working through challenges. I want to help others succeed by encouraging them and guiding them to recognize their own strengths and growth along the way.

My Favorite Study Hack: My study hack is breaking tasks into sections and giving each one a set amount of focused time. Then, I record myself explaining the material back to myself, so I’m teaching myself. It helps me to retain information.

Jhulio Vargas
Academic Coach

Why I coach: I coach because I believe in the power of knowledge and what it can do for a person. Sometimes it’s not that we lack potential; we simply don’t know what we don’t know yet. Knowledge is power, but applied knowledge is even stronger. I believe coaching can help people discover their abilities and learn how to use them with confidence.

My Favorite Study Hack: My favorite study hack is studying in a group or at least with another student. I like it because we can ask each other questions and help one another understand things better. I also think it helps to hear things from a different point of view, not just how the professor explains it.

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.
