Originally from Amherst, MA, Hailey graduated Summa Cum Laude from North Carolina State University – ranked #1 in her department. As part of her studies, she completed glaciology research at the University of Alaska Southeast and taught and developed a new set of courses at North Carolina State University. After graduating, Hailey worked with several organizations to teach high school students at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Hailey is Mindfish’s resident accommodations expert. She helps families to navigate the process of getting accommodation in school and on standardized tests. Hailey also completes assistive technology consultations for students with learning difficulties.
As an educator with double deficit dyslexia and auditory processing disorder, Hailey is intimately aware of the difficulties that face students with learning differences. As a 99th+ percentile test taker, she has learned countless strategies to compensate for her disabilities. During her K-12 education, Hailey completed years of special education classes and IEP meetings. Her dyslexia is a fundamental part of her identity, and therefore she has dedicated much of her education to understanding the neuropsychological underpinnings of students with learning disabilities. She knows how to leverage that research into unique study strategies for every student. Hailey is a Board Certified Cognitive Coach and has been trained to work with students with a variety of learning challenges, from dyslexia to autism to ADHD.
Most recently, Hailey has leveraged her background and experience to help students navigate the college admissions process. She has a passion for helping all students find their best fit college, the place where they can thrive academically and personally, discover themself and their interests and ambitions, and grow into the adults they’re meant to become. Specifically, with her background in neurodiversity, Hailey is dedicated to helping students with learning differences find schools and programs that will support their unique learning styles and process of exploration and growth.
When Hailey isn’t at Mindfish, she is likely working on writing her first book, launching her podcast, or hanging out with her cats!
