Short Bio
Hello everyone! My name is Elley Parker, and I’m a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health program. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology, with a minor in counseling, from Auburn University—and my love for Auburn brought me back for graduate studies. I have a passion for working closely with undergraduate students and am thrilled to continue supporting others in their academic journey.
Study Tip: One piece of advice I often share with students is to establish a structured schedule. Maintaining a well-organized plan not only helps keep track of assignments but also balances external responsibilities. When we prioritize organization, we maximize productivity and stay on course with our educational goals.
Advice to AU Students: My advice would be to take full advantage of the resources Auburn University offers. Students here have access to valuable tools and support systems that can set them up for success. Get involved on campus, make the most of your time here, and remember—it goes by fast!
Coaching Style: My coaching approach centers on meeting students where they are. I aim to provide unwavering support and foster an environment where students feel comfortable being vulnerable. Together, we work diligently toward their academic goals, while also building confidence in their ability to sustain and expand upon their achievements.
