Before becoming a life coach, I decided to write Thrive in College: Don't Just Survive before I started my company. My friends and I would always laugh about the things that we wish we had known and would do over/ do better if we had the chance to do college over again.

​

As I was taking my courses with UCI, I started noting topics that seemed to come up a lot with classmates that their students had questions on (roommates, cafeteria food, textbooks, etc.) and some didn't know the answers while others answered plainly. 

​

The books that are out on the market for future college students sound so daunting. They are titled things like "101 things to know" or "How to Survive". Survive?? 

​

You shouldn't have to survive college. 

​

I wanted students to know that college isn't as scary as some books or people make it out to be and that mistakes can be fixed! I wrote about my (and some friends') triumphs and failures. This book is about figuring life out and in a way that is easy to read.

​

My hope is that you can be more confident starting school.
