Empowering Your Journey

Academic & Career Coaching Support

I offer personalized academic and career coaching designed to help students overcome challenges, explore meaningful career paths, and build a clear, confident plan for life after graduation.

With over two decades of experience supporting STEM, Business, Health, and Liberal Arts undergraduate and master’s students, I’ve had the privilege of serving at leading institutions including Emory University (Goizueta Business School and School of Law) and Georgia Tech, where I worked as a Learning Specialist for student academic success.

My mission is simple — to empower you to strategize for success by combining proven learning strategies with career readiness tools that help you reach your academic and professional goals.

Hi I'm Liz K Emerson, Founder of Pathwise Coaching

With over 2 decades of experience in higher education, I have dedicated my career to supporting student success across a wide range of disciplines—including liberal arts, business, healthcare, STEM, and law. My professional journey has spanned admissions, academic advising, and academic affairs, giving me a deep and holistic understanding of the student lifecycle from enrollment through graduation.

I am deeply passionate about working with students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, helping them navigate their academic journeys and achieve their personal and professional goals. One of my core areas of expertise lies in supporting international students through a uniquely holistic and career-focused lens. I specialize in guiding students as they adapt to new academic environments, integrate into campus life, and prepare for long-term success in global careers.

My commitment to equity, access, and excellence drives everything I do, and I take pride in creating inclusive, student-centered experiences that empower learners from all backgrounds to thrive.
