College is a big Leap - Let's Make Sure to Stick the Landing!
You want your student to feel confident, connected, and career-ready. I help them get there with one-on-one guidance that brings everything they need—resume building, professional branding, communication skills, and more—together in one place. It’s the head start that sets them apart.
🌟 Imagine this...
A freshman steps onto campus already feeling grounded and prepared. They know how to introduce themselves with confidence, their resume is polished, and their LinkedIn profile is live. They’ve already explored a few student orgs and made early connections that feel like community. When opportunities pop up—internships, scholarships, leadership roles—they don’t hesitate. They apply with clarity, purpose, and a professional edge that’s rare this early on. They navigate office hours, write professional emails, and advocate for themselves with ease. They feel connected, capable, and intentional—setting the tone for four impactful years ahead. No floundering. No waiting to “figure it out.” Just a strong start and a clear sense of direction.
👋🏽 Hi, I’m Phylindia!
I’m a scientist, science communicator, mentor, and coach with a background in Earth and Planetary Sciences. I hold a Bachelor’s from Purdue University, a Master’s from the University of Virginia, and I’m currently finishing my PhD at the University of Florida. Along the way, I’ve mentored hundreds of students—helping them land internships, build standout resumes, apply for scholarships, and find their voice in professional spaces. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming that first year of college can be, and how much more confident students feel when they have the right support early on. I created this coaching offer because I believe that with the right tools and strategy, students can start strong, stay grounded, and make the most of all four years. This isn’t just academic prep. It’s life prep. And I’m here to help make the transition not just easier—but transformational.
