MINDI TRIMBLE

Before beginning her own mentorship practice, Mindi worked for over a decade with students worldwide as a top-ranked professional faculty member for Revolution Prep. She also created the role of academic advisor on its sales team, trained and mentored new faculty, and traveled abroad to work with international students eager to attend American colleges.

 

While she relished watching students succeed, Mindi was realizing they were missing opportunities during this standardized testing “rite of passage”—opportunities to discover what truly matters to them.  She began integrating growth mindset and mindfulness work into her sessions, and upon seeing their ability to transform an otherwise stressful process into one of passionate inquiry and discovery, set out to customize her signature academic coaching system. Mindi empowered students to not only unlock their ability to achieve more immediate academic goals, but also confidently explore their futures. 

 

Now, her work focuses on helping students explore future possibilities as they navigate their current academic careers. Mindi challenges her students to dig deep within to find their core values, discover what's awaiting them in the world, design a plan of action, and distill all that information to establish their personal priorities. She then works in-depth with students to craft standout essays and application materials filled with personality and authenticity that get put in the 'yes' pile!

​

Working  this way,  Mindi helps her students transform their academic lives from a series of administrative hoops to jump through to an experience filled with meaningful reflection that pays off in all sorts of ways.  She's helped students gain 6-figure scholarships, acceptances into their top college choices, and momentum that confidently propels them toward their brightest futures.

​

Personally:

Mindi loves to nerd out with her students about mind-blowing interdisciplinary post-high school programs and possibilities beyond the norm. She is energetic, collaborative, and unafraid to bust out her opera chops while singing her students’ praises. Most mornings you'll find her up before dawn for coffee, quiet time, and a quick sweat session at the boxing gym. Mindi likes working her magic on unsuspecting subjects—from free roadside furniture to fearful first draft writers. Weekends are for adventures with her husband, toddler twin boys, and German Sheagle, and she's always down for a bad pun, good mystery, or anything made with peanut butter and chocolate.

 

Mindi's on a mission to introduce effective altruism—using evidence-based global priorities research to make strategic personal decisions that do the most good for the most people—as a life-changing social movement and philosophy to her students (and anyone else who will listen).
