Want to improve your academic experiences, like studying, test-taking or time management? Sometimes it can be nice to just talk it out with someone. Peer academic coaches are upper-class undergrads who have a passion for helping others. They undergo extensive, ongoing training by professional academic coaches. Meet this year’s coaches — next up is Alyssa!

“I'm a biomedical engineering major on the pre-med track with a focus on biomechanics, and I am currently pursuing minors in biochemistry and engineering management. When I first got to CU, I felt completely lost and didn't know where to start when it came to asking for help since I found the information overwhelming. I've encountered some daunting obstacles at CU. I wanted to be a Peer Academic Coach to help connect students to useful resources and reassure them that it gets better! I enjoy hiking, reading, drinking tea, and taking my dog, a 4-year-old goldendoodle named Cody, to the park. I absolutely LOVE nachos, and the ones at My Neighbor Felix on Pearl Street are AMAZING!”  Learn more about Alyssa and see her coaching schedule.
