About
My Story
My Philosophy
My Philosophy
"Grit your teeth and go for it!" were my dad's wise words growing up. Being brave when starting new adventures has always been my approach in life. I don't take unnecessary risks -- you won't see me jump out of a plane, ever! But I will jump on opportunities like moving overseas for a couple of years or starting my own boutique counseling business. I realize that being brave and open to new possibilities has allowed me to approach life with an openness to change. I love learning and evolving in my thought process and I seek experiences that help me grow, from writing books and traveling, to painting and researching.
My name is Dr. Munira (moo-nee-ra) and I'm a college and career counselor who loves helping students apply to college and gain the self-awareness necessary to prepare for higher education and beyond. Working as a counselor, I feel honored to listen to the hopes and dreams of students and I love that each student teaches me something about life through their lived experience.
Attending UCLA was pivotal to my growth as a young adult and my love of learning led me to pursue my doctorate in education. I strongly believe that education is the door to personal growth, career fulfillment, and financial success. I'm passionate about supporting all students in their educational pursuits and I've worked with diverse students through my counseling practice both locally and internationally. I'm adaptable to different learning styles and pathways to success and I'm particularly committed to access and equity for first-generation & BIPOC students.

I'm committed to creating strong relationships with students and families as I approach all students holistically so academic and personal goals are in alignment. Through encouragement and empathy, I connect with students while helping them discover their strengths. I maintain open communication with parents and relieve anxiety and stress as the student prepares for college and beyond.
I commit twenty-five percent of my caseload to support first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students.
