Jessica Schmitt
Jessica is a professional ballet dancer and avid academic tutor. She has been working towards a B.A. in English - Technical and Professional Writing from Indiana University East online. She graduated from Monroe High School in Wisconsin with Distinguished Honors with a 4.2 GPA. She also achieved a 35 on the ACT, was named an AP Scholar by the College Board, and received her district's "Student of the Month" award twice. Throughout high school she took numerous AP classes: AP U.S. History, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, and AP European History. She has completed both in-person and online courses,and has the skills to help students in both. She not only wants to see students succeed academically, but also in life, which is why she also works to develop her students' self-confidence and desire to achieve, and she teaches life skills such as time management and organization. In addition to her dancing and tutoring, Jessica offers mindset development coaching and speeches on her journey. After years of holding limiting beliefs and self-doubts about her dancing, she immersed herself into personal development and mindset studies, learning the content of the likes of Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, and more. Jessica has always enjoyed helping others understand ideas and concepts, and after learning ideas that completely shifted her mindset and perspective of success, she found herself wanting to help others. Additionally, she believed that her dance journey, one that is full of successes, failures, comebacks, and perseverance, could inspire others on their own success journeys, especially the youth. Mindful Ontogeny allows Jessica to spread the powerful knowledge she has learned and continues to study regularly and give others the mindset needed to reach success on their own journeys. Jessica recognizes the immense value in developing a strong mindset and skills for success, and she wants Mindful Ontogeny to be a place where people go to be supported, mentored, and catapulted to the life they always dreamed.
