Founder & Lead Mentor
I’m especially helpful if you’re navigating:
-
Academic stress, burnout, or feeling overwhelmed
-
Perfectionism, pressure, or high expectations (internal or external)
-
Life transitions, uncertainty, or identity exploration
-
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure where to start
-
Wanting support that feels thoughtful, grounded, and non-judgmental
What I understand personally:
I created Peer Connections because I know how isolating it can feel to be outwardly high-functioning while internally overwhelmed. I understand the experience of carrying pressure quietly, questioning your direction, and wanting support that doesn’t immediately turn into labels or diagnoses.
Outside of mentoring:
I enjoy writing, cooking & baking for friends and family, and playing tennis.
