Academic eSupport Success Coaches
Lucas T is a third year student majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior. He stays active through weightlifting, basketball, and swimming. Being a successful college student is not easy but it is certainly possible. My advice is to be as efficient and as organized as possible. But, in order to do this you cannot forget, which is why you have to be organized by using a software like google calendar to track your plans.
My name is Marc M. and I am studying exercise science and health promotion here at FAU. I enjoy helping others keep fit and healthy, but also assisting them in reaching their goals, whether it be academic or physical. My favorite hobbies are playing games with my friends and weightlifting, as I try to stay consistent with my routine and work on my continuous improvement. To succeed in my online coursework, I make sure to plan ahead and see what I have to do every week, then follow-up on that by giving myself ample time to accomplish everything with the grade I desire.
Amari N. is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. Believing that balance is the key to success, Amari works to manage academics and extracurriculars through strong organization and effective tools. Amari enjoys connecting with students across different majors and exploring new interests, especially reading, music, crafting, crocheting, and spending time with friends.
Stephanie T. is a graduate student at FAU pursuing her Ph.D. in experimental psychology. She initially earned a BFA in writing, literature, and publishing from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and worked as a content writer and editor for 10 years before deciding to pursue psychology. This led her to pursue a second bachelor's degree in psychology at FAU, and since then, she has developed a love for research. Currently, she participates in the FAU Neuropsychology Lab and also does her own research on chronic and posttraumatic stress. In her spare time, though, she still enjoys writing science fiction and frequently dabbles in arts and crafts to keep her hands busy. Working with students as a Peer eSuccess Coach is fun for her, as it constantly introduces her to the many facets FAU has to offer, so she hopes to keep helping students enjoy their academic career and lead them toward a path of success!
Felicia P. is a data science and analytics major with a minor in mathematics and a certificate in investment management. She is also a peer coach for the University Honors Program. Felicia understands that the transition to college can be challenging to navigate on one's own, but encourages students to take advantage of FAU's many resources, including the ESuccess coaching. Felicia believes that academic success grows over time with the practice of mini habits and good time management. Outside of her coursework, Felicia plays competitive tennis, bakes, and loves camping.
