Experience

Colette joined the Thinking Organized team in 2016. In that time, she has helped countless students develop their executive functioning skills such as time management, planning and prioritization, organization, flexible thinking, note-taking, study skills, problem solving and working memory leading to better performance in school, work, and life. She is committed to guiding students with ADHD or other executive functioning challenges to implement successful and proven ways to overcome obstacles while accentuating their strengths to help them achieve their goals. Colette has helped her students learn organizational skills that allowed them to independently map out a week of regular activities with little support, and helped students reach a higher level of confidence and self-esteem. While also demonstrating how the same skills can be applied to seemingly daunting subjects, such as math and science, to improve their processing skills as well as their ability to remember and sequence a series of steps.

I recently started learning how to play the drums and started playing at my local church so a portion of my free time is dedicated towards perfecting the art of playing drums with the other portion being dedicated to staying active either by playing soccer, lifting weights or running.
