We Help Students and Their Families Master the Process of Learning
SOS4Students coaches have extensive experience working with middle school and high school students, families, educators, and clinicians to identify issues affecting student academic performance and to develop clear step-by-step plans for the way forward. Many have expertise in special education, school psychology, educational therapy, and advocacy.
Meet Our Coaches

Bianca Contreras
“I find beauty in the idea that executive function skills work in harmony with one another. They are what make us human. We may have strengths in some skills and could develop a couple of others, but that’s what makes us unique. Executive functioning is not “one size fits all,” so I love supporting students on their journey to finding their uniqueness and success.” (Bianca Contreras)

Vivian Fritzler
“I am deeply committed to instilling in students a love for learning. I believe that given the right environment all learners have the ability to thrive.” (Vivian Fritzler)

Janet Harrison
“I love coaching kids with executive function challenges because it is super interesting to see how each individual brain functions. Early on in my career, I worked in neuroscience and the pathways and processes in the brain still fascinate me. My approach to EF coaching is to try to do a deep dive and really understand the particular ways a student learns and then help provide opportunities to maximize learning utilizing those strengths.” (Janet Harrison)

Chelsea Hite
“Given the right tools and attitude, I believe all students can achieve success in learning. What I love about working with students with executive function challenges is that we get to utilize our creativity when coming up with solutions to the issues we face. We can customize strategies with your students so that they are empowered and prepared to be their own advocate.” (Chelsea Hite)

Rosa Huezo
“Executive function skills embolden students to understand how they best learn by knowing their learning strengths and areas of need. EF skills enable students to be successful in and out of the classroom to reach their full potential.” (Rosa Huezo)

Kelsi Kane
“Executive function coaching is an incredible process of customizing systems to fit the individual. I love helping students find their new favorite planning tool, organization strategy, and workflow; it can create a powerful sense of agency for them, which means they are more likely to stick with it!” (Kelsi Kane)

Angela Lucchese
“Working as an executive function coach allows me to help students hone the skills they need to be successful in school and life. Content can be difficult, but I find that students are capable of tackling any subject when they have the strategies and tools that best utilize their strengths and preferences. I love watching students experience success they didn’t think was possible and helping them to work smarter, not harder.” (Angela Lucchese)

Marco Vieira
“Every student learns in a unique way. I believe these differences should be nurtured not hidden. If we can harness these individual abilities and channel them, any student can become a well-rounded learner.”(Marco Vieira)
Meet Our Office Manager/Executive Assistant

Samantha Okazaki
“Executive function support is critical for cognitively diverse students and as a mother of 2 children with learning disabilities, the knowledge I have gained as part of the SOS team is integral in my ability to advocate for them and their academic success. It is empowering as a parent to walk into an IEP meeting and collaborate with the special education team rather than them telling you what your student needs.” (Samantha Okazaki)
