Lindsay Filice
Education Specialist: #180136455
Executive Function Coach
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I went to the University of Colorado at Boulder for undergrad, where I received a Bachelor Degree in Psychology in 2002. While at Boulder I took an introduction to teaching class that sparked my interest in potentially becoming a teacher. After college I decided to go to the University of San Francisco to pursue my teaching career. I later graduated from USF with a Masters Degree in Teaching Reading and a Multiple Subject credential in 2005. After graduation from USF, I started my teaching career and now have over 16 years of teaching experience guiding students to reach their full potential. My unique combination of a psychology background, teaching experience and endurance athletics has fueled my passion as a success coach. I love helping my students and clients build the mental fortitude needed to overcome whatever challenges they may face to meet their goals. In my free time I enjoy running and training for marathons. Since 2007 I have completed over 25 marathons and have participated in the Boston Marathon five times. I am also a group fitness instructor and teach Bootcamp classes. I love spending time outdoors with my husband, our eight month old son, two step-children and our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

Tyler
Assistive Technology &
Executive Function Coach
For over five years I have been helping my fellow neighbors in the Northern Bay Area with issues small and large. It began when I found a post on Nextdoor of a person who was in dire
need of some help restructuring files for her business. At the end of my appointment with her, she said that there were tons of others like herself that could use my help. From then onward, I have helped dozens of clients with over 95% client satisfaction.
On the other hand, my organizational skills come from my own need for personal growth. Towards the end of eighth grade, I found myself in the principal's office with a handful of my
classmates. It was a meeting for those who were at risk of not graduating middle school. It was the abrupt wake up call I needed to get myself together. Unlike the lack of focus I had in middle school, I worked hard to build a workflow, implement a calendar of due dates and study enough to consistently get better grades with every passing year. At the height of my education, I made the Dean’s Honor List three years in a row before graduating from the University of California Riverside with a B.S. in Business Administration in 2020.
