Hi, I’m Dr. Harrison, founder of Geaux Guidance, and I serve as an independent college access coach and literacy consultant.
I have a Doctorate in Educational Leadership with a concentration in reading, and I have eight years of experience as a classroom teacher, including time spent teaching English II. My background has given me a strong foundation in writing instruction, academic preparation, and student support.
While working as a college access counselor, I guided high-achieving, first-generation students through every stage of the college application process. During that year, I helped 38 students gain admission to top-tier colleges and universities, and through that work, I’ve seen firsthand how impactful the right support can be.
I created Geaux Guidance Independent Education Consulting to offer personalized, culturally responsive services to students and families navigating the college admissions journey. Whether you need help building a college list, writing a personal statement, completing financial aid forms, or managing deadlines, I’m here to provide guidance and meaningful encouragement.
In addition, I partner with schools and districts to strengthen literacy instruction in grades 3–5 through curriculum support, teacher professional development, and strategies that help all students thrive. I specialize in offering culturally relevant teaching strategies that connect literacy instruction to students’ lived experiences. By centering culturally responsive practices, I help educators support marginalized populations while ensuring all students make meaningful strides in ELA.
My coaching style is warm, honest, and focused on results. I’m committed to helping students tell their stories, build strong applications, and geaux through their educational journeys with confidence.
