Holistic and Creative Approaches to Student Success, Leadership, and Professional Growth
Hi!
My name is Zahra and and I’m passionate about supporting individual and team growth through holistic and creative approaches.
How can we explore who we are and navigate different career pathways while carrying the weight of insecurity?
​
Is it possible to joyfully uncover our inner gifts—our unique talents, evolving core values, and sources of passion—without first restoring our mind, body, and spirit?
As a holistic and creative educator, advisor, and career coach, I draw on my background in counseling and supervision to help students and individuals reconnect with themselves. Through integrative ,arts-informed, and mindfulness-based practices, I guide people in clarifying purposeful academic, personal, and career pathways that align with their identities, values, and needs.


I'm an explorer!
I’m currently a career coach working with the Baltimore Career Coaching Initiative (BCCI). Over the past 10 years, I’ve held various roles, including university instructor, Exploratory advisor, career/internship advisor, counseling supervisor intern, student government leader, journal editor, and event coordinator. However, above all these titles, I identify as an explorer.

Know Thyself!
Career coaching begins with delving deeper into ourselves and understanding who we are. When we identify our core interests, strengths, preferences, personality types, and values, career choices become clearer.
Part of identifying suitable career choices, including high school and college/university options, involves participating in extracurricular activities related to your interests and engaging in various opportunities.
