Short Bio
Hello! My name is Ava Lauderdale, and I am currently a student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Auburn University, where I also earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology in May of 2024. I am from Santa Rosa Beach, Florida so I am very familiar with being out of state and away from home. I am deeply committed to helping others and have thoroughly enjoyed coaching students since beginning my journey in this field. I cannot wait to see your academic goals come to life!
Study Tip: A helpful study tip is to make consistent, daily progress rather than waiting until the last minute. By dedicating a bit of time each day, you can break down large tasks into manageable portions, helping to reduce the stress that often accompanies procrastination. This approach not only keeps you organized but also reinforces retention by allowing you to revisit and build on material gradually.
Advice to AU Students: My advice to Auburn students is to get involved! This beautiful campus offers a wealth of opportunities, including numerous clubs, campaigns, and student organization activities designed to improve your experience at Auburn. Engaging in these activities not only enhances your time here but also helps build a strong sense of community, allowing you to fully experience the strength and spirit of the Auburn family.
Coaching Style: My coaching style is all about staying organized, something I value both at work and in my personal life! I believe that having a clear plan—whether it’s keeping track of tasks, setting goals, or creating a routine—helps students stay on top of things and feel more confident. Being organized makes a big difference, and I love helping others find ways to make it work for them.
