Expertise
I can answer questions about dating, sex, abuse, conflict with teachers, conflict with parents (or siblings), applying to colleges, time management, playing sports, and anything else you can think of to throw my way. I have been involved with sports all my life, and I played for a Division 1 college so I know a lot about time management and how difficult it can be to juggle being social and hitting the books. I have had many different kinds of romantic relationships and have dealt with abuse first hand. I have two siblings so I know how rocky things can get sometimes. My parents were very strict while I was growing up, and I understand how suffocating that can feel. I graduated from college in May with a B.A. in History and I know how stressful and intimidating college life can seem. I have valuable life experiences that will allow me to help people with a wide array of problems. Although it's been four years since I was in high school, I have not forgotten what it is like to be a shy freshman walking down unfamiliar halls, wondering if I'll like my classes or make any friends. I also have experience with long distance relationships, and grieving with the loss of a loved one. I am very patient and thoughtful and I will do everything within in my power to provide useful answers and meaningful pieces of advice.

Experience
I have coached high school aged women in both basketball and volleyball, and as a result I got to know all of them personally and helped them navigate their problems. I have dealt first hand with everything from relationship abuse to severe fatigue as a result of over exerting myself. I understand the demands of a busy life, and also the social pressures that teenagers deal with today. Furthermore, I have experience with underage drinking and I know how difficult it is to stand up for what you believe in when all your friends are pushing you to do something you rather not.

Education/Credentials
B.A. in History, I have also mentored many high school aged women in athletic camps.
