Additionally, she is a college success expert, sharing experiences as a student, administrator, and director in various college positions.

Her background in counseling psychology and leadership development fostered her love for leadership and lifestyle coaching. She encourages people to “discover what they LiHK (like)…” in order to “become who they love”. Dr. Jai would love to meet with you to discuss how she can meet your training, coaching and/or speaking needs.
