Working with Coach Ginny was one of the most pleasurable and supportive experiences I have had during my early career change. Our conversations, daily inspirations, and self-help homework allowed me to “jump into the deep-end” and swim toward my goal to develop my intellectual pursuits for myself first and be a better teacher for it.

Five years ago, I started taking community college classes in geology, hoping to teach high school earth science. This year I am graduating with my Masters in Science in Geology with an emphasis in volcanology. Not only do I earn a living doing research in fantastic places, I also teach geology at the university level and am able to share my adventures and passion with undergraduates and with high school students during summer enrichment courses.

Ginny not only saw me through self doubt and indecisiveness, she reminded me that this is My Life and I can do whatever I dream… plus a lot more that only presents itself as opportunity when you take risks.
