Success Coach Spotlight

"I became a Success Coach to establish meaningful connections and hone my leadership skills. As an aspiring pediatric nurse, I also realized how invaluable this opportunity was to gain insight into how to effectively interact with children, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. Coming from a similar socio-economic environment myself, programs like these were scarce, so I took on this role to provide support in navigating the complexities of high school and higher education for individuals in similar circumstances."

"As a first generation college student and future teacher, I always told myself that I would try to open doors to educational opportunities for other first gen/low-income students. Despite our resilience and resourcefulness, we are a group that is often underestimated and under-resourced in academia. Being a PMI Success Coach allows me to combat educational inequity by helping our extremely bright Academy students unlock their inner potential and reach any goal they set their mind to. Moreover, I love being a PMI Success Coach because it is a reciprocal relationship, meaning I learn just as much from our students as they hopefully learn from me! I truly look forward to meeting with my students every week-- they inspire me to be a better educator and person."
