Tess was born and raised in New York City, and she graduated in 2023 with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. When she was a graduate student, she worked multiple jobs on top of her graduate schoolwork, and one of those jobs was coaching students at Slothzero to stay on top of their schoolwork and achieve their professional goals.Tess understands from personal experience how difficult it can be to keep track of everything one needs to get done in a day, and then actually do it.She also knows how easy it is to lose motivation for long-term tasks like writing a huge paper or working towards a degree. Her coaching philosophy focuses on empathy and always keeping a “no-judgement” zone, even when her clients aren’t achieving what they planned to accomplish. She likes to lead with openness and honesty, always aiming to meet her clients where they are at and then creating a plan and detailed tracker to help them get to where they want to be. She enjoys checking in with her clients throughout the week to keep track of her client’s progress and learning how she can best support them.In her free time, Tess likes to draw, hike, and watch movies! She looks forward to learning more about your needs, and how she can support keeping your life organized and helping you achieve your goals!
