I Help Elite College Freshmen Grow Their Emotional Centeredness, Self-Understanding, And Purpose Through Journaling
I’m not a professor—I bring the unique perspective of a recent Cornell graduate who left disappointed in the quality of an Ivy League education. But that disappointment launched a quest: to help elite college freshmen grow their emotional centeredness, self-understanding, and purpose through journaling.
Along the way I've:
- Created 1,500+ journal entry's
- Made 600+ YouTube videos, podcasts, and newsletters
- Taught 500+ students journaling, notetaking and outdoor ed through six courses
- Talked to 50+ freshman about their relationship to journaling in college
- Worked with the world’s leading gamification consultancy, The Octalysis Group, to learn more about human motivation
My passion project is Conscious College, a YouTube channel & Newsletter combo that helps elite college freshmen upgrade their journaling to build their emotional centeredness, self-understanding, and purpose.
