DEWITT STUCKEY |
I am a graduate student at Mills College in Oakland, California; I like to spend my free time reading and writing. I am a published author and I have been working on a trilogy of mysteries, time travel and witches for the young adult genre for three years. With my first novel in the trilogy finished, I am currently working on finishing the second in the series and hope to find an agent within the next year. I have a wonderful son with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis and have several years working with students with various apparent and non-apparent challenges as they work through their education. I have served on various community committees, worked for over ten years as a tutor to assist students with their challenges to be successful and has worked as an advocate for the rights of such students. My particular interests as an academic coach include working with veterans, those with ASD and dyslexia. I will be giving workshops this quarter on several different topics, the first of which is time management on October 17, 2014. I also look forward to meeting and partnering with Foothill students to help them achieve their goals.

My name is Lynn and I'm currently a master's student specializing in counselor education at San Jose State University, having recently graduated from UC Davis with a bachelor's in psychology and design. Having worked various positions in both fields, I found that my heart always returned to working with students. With a knack for what I call "anti-procrastination," I am currently pursuing my future goals of advising and coaching other students in better time management, scheduling, and other skills so that they can find themselves with more free time than they ever imagined. As an educational coach at the Disability Resource Center, I am looking forward to getting to know new students at Foothill, to be able to not only build upon my skills but also to grow in my own understanding of each and every unique individual. In my free time, I love going on photo walks, making DIY crafts, and going on milk tea runs.

Hello my name is Dewitt Stuckey. I am an Academic Coach here on campus with the DRC. I currently attend San Jose State University as a graduate student in Education Counseling. I decided to work in the education field because as a child I moved between 9 different elementary schools making it impossible to build a solid foundation for academic success. However, with the support of middle school and high school resources I was able to attend college on a full ride scholarship to play football at the University of Oregon. My goal is to help students overcome their challenges and turn them into successes.
