ABOUT DR. MUSU
Student Success Champion
Education Consultant | Scholar Athlete
From the track to the classroom, I’ve spent my life breaking barriers—and now I help others do the same. As a first-generation college graduate, Ph.D. in urban education, and former champion scholar-athlete, I’ve transformed the lessons of discipline, resilience, and strategy from my athletic career into powerful educational frameworks that have impacted thousands.
With 18 years of experience as an education consultant and university educator, I specialize in helping students and professionals alike find their authentic voice, uncover their passions, and take bold steps toward their goals. Whether you're a working adult returning to school, a first-gen student navigating uncharted territory, or a cycle-breaker determined to rewrite your family’s story: I’m here to guide your journey.
My mission is simple: to make education transformational, not transactional. I equip individuals and organizations with the mindset, tools, and strategies to thrive in learning spaces, no matter their starting point.
Let’s turn your potential into power. Your next chapter starts now.
