Hi I'm
Dr. Renae!
& I am a First Generation everything... teen mom, high school dropout, college graduate, professional, entrepreneur, high achiever, newly minted doctor, aspiring high-er income earner, and the best Auntie Ever! IJS...
​
Most importantly I am an Instigator of Positive Change. Which simply means that I encourage people to try new things, try on new perspectives, and challenge limiting mindsets that may keep them from squeezing every drop of goodness out of this FirstGen Journey.
​
I keep audiences engaged by sharing my own crazy experiences and the dynamic stories found in my research on Pivotal Moments of Change of First-Generation High-Income Earners. My heart is to equip audiences with the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts needed for us FirstGen's to not just survive or "do better" than where we came from... but to thrive in our future endeavors.
​
I believe that this is a message that students need to hear early in their journey to better equip them for success as aspiring professionals, entrepreneurs and high-income earners. (We speak things into existence around here).
Our Passion-FirstGens & Mental Health
FirstGen students demonstrate tremendous grit, resilience, and determination just to make it to move in day. Their hope for the future is bright, however, many may still be dealing with limiting beliefs and negative mindsets shaped by their past. These mindsets could impact their mental health and make it challenging for them to settle in, connect with others, and find success on campus and in the workplace.
It doesn't have to be that way... Experiencing a different, relevant perspective now may lead to a mindset shift that empowers them to make better career choices, get better grades, and increase their social and financial capacity.
