 Who am I?
I am Teryl Celeste.

It is fantastic to finally meet you!

I spent years as a consultant in the healthcare industry, creating wealth for others. I

would swoop in and set up profitable clinics, pharmacies, and even a medical tourism

company. But I did not dare to admit that I wanted more.

I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I started some deep reflection. I realized that my

issue was never creating these businesses or streamlining workflow. My problem was

that I had lost touch with REAL people.

So, I went back to school, and I loved it! I loved studying, researching, writing, and

helping other students do the same.

It was really tough. I balanced my full-time job and raising my son as a single mom,

but I was determined to succeed. If I wanted to become a researcher professionally, I

knew I would need to bring home excellent grades.

I needed to be able to study extremely efficiently and organize my time. I got so good

at it that I started teaching other students my techniques. Finally, I founded Absolutely

Studying to help as many students as possible with this same struggle.

Now that I have uncovered my dream, I want to help you discover yours!

I love helping students organize their life and make studying fun.
