About Deanna
As a Career Development Consultant, I motivate, develop, and empower students, professionals, or anyone interested in improving how they approach life. I continue to merge my work related to higher education with my interest in economics, career assessment, and individual development.
After several years working in finance, I transitioned to a new domain and earned an M.S. in Educational Psychology concentrating on personal epistemology and cognitive development. I was fortunate to integrate economic theory with personal epistemological development, published in the peer-review journal Educational Psychologist and through Cambridge University Press.
In an effort to reach students applying to undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools, I obtained my Certificate in College Counseling from the University of California, Los Angeles. My sincere passion is advocacy through individual development and career development.
Individual development and career development situated in strengths coaching and feedback through a detailed interpretation will help adults, students, and professionals identify their unique talents. More specifically, this information will enhance self-reflection and understanding while identifying areas for success.
As an MBTI® Master Practitioner, I specialize in the development of individuals and teams utilizing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) and Strong Interest Inventory ® for team-building, leadership development, communication enhancement, change management, and stress management.
As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, I provide one-on-one coaching in strengths building, individual development, career exploration, goal setting, action planning/implementation. The CliftonStrengths at the top of your profile (1-10) are the most powerful. These themes represent how you are uniquely talented and are a starting point for living your most vital life possible!
My Top Strengths (1-10): Learner, Strategic, Achiever, Input, Intellection, Connectedness, Relator, Positivity, Individualization, Responsibility
Specialties: Cultivating Individual Development, Leadership Development, Essay Development, Team Building, Career and College Counseling

Testimonials
Deanna is efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely competent. She often successfully finishes a task well before the deadline. She is highly organized and consistently exceeds expectations. While most people with these skills can be impatient, she is generous with her time and efforts. People often find her to be a warm and comforting presence. Deanna has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. She has provided career guidance and college admission guidance to students applying to undergraduate and graduate programs across the nation. When my own son was applying to colleges, she provided him with excellent guidance, assurance, and nurtured his confidence as he wrote his essays. Even as he was navigating his acceptance process, he would say, “we should ask Deanna?” Beyond my son, I have seen her excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), which allows her to connect with all kinds of people and to inspire them to put forth their best effort. This is especially true when she is dealing with people who others find challenging. Her cheerful but knowledgeable approach is both disarming and authentic.

Deanna is a terrific Clifton Strengths Coach! Not only is her analysis spot-on, but she is also deeply knowledgable about how the subject matter is applicable to all individuals. Her review of my assessment not only helped me to better understand myself, but also provided direction on how to make my strengths even better. I highly recommend for Clifton Strengths Coaching!
