Our Mission

At AchieveNova, we don't just prepare students for exams, we prepare them for life. Our mission is to build the real skills that create lasting success: discipline, resilience, time management, emotional intelligence, leadership, adopting a self-improvement mindset, and strengthening mental health. We help students master the habits that lead to graduation, personal growth, and thriving far beyond college.

Why it matters

Today’s students face more than academic challenges. They battle emotional stress, uncertainty about the future, and a lack of real-world skills that no classroom teaches. Without the tools to manage change, build resilience, and invest in self-growth, too many fall short of their potential. In fact, nearly one-third of college students drop out before graduating, even though every student starts out with the intention to succeed. AchieveNova exists to change that because graduation isn’t the finish line; it’s the launchpad for everything that comes next.

How it works

We are building an ai-powered personal guide for college students that is designed to help you kill procrastination and build discipline, manage mental health and emotion, track habits, and 50 other skills.You will receive guided self-growth modules, a check in system for accountability, the chat based ai bot that offers personalized advice and strategies, and a point system to help you stay engaged and rewarded for staying on track.

My story

I graduated high school in 2019 full of excitement, stepping into Salisbury University ready to chase my dreams. But like so many students, I wasn't prepared for the hidden battles ahead. Behind the scenes, I struggled deeply with depression. Hoping to find some relief, I transferred to Towson University to be closer to home, but despite the move, the darkness only grew. By the fall of 2021, I had fallen to one of the lowest points of my life. I failed my classes. I dropped out. And for a moment, I questioned whether I could ever get back up.But something inside me refused to stay down. I realized that if I wanted a different life, I had to fight for it every day. I rebuilt myself from the ground up, shifting my mindset, changing my daily habits, and fully committing to self-improvement. Little by little, I grew stronger. I grew happier.In the fall of 2024, I returned to college at Howard Community College with a new purpose. Balancing a part-time job, I earned straight A’s, and my lowest final grade was a 97.34%. During that time, a vision formed: I wanted to create something that could help students navigate through the hardships, something to help students dealing with any sort of issue, big or small.This is where I developed AchieveNova, and on May 7th, 2025, I was honored with the Betty Noble Entrepreneurship Award, an award that is competitive to achieve, only fueling my desire to make this idea a reality. AchieveNova isn’t just a program. It’s the tool I wish I had at 18. A guide to help students fight back against mental health struggles, personal challenges, uncertainty, and to become their strongest selves so they can live a higher quality of life and enjoy school to the fullest.If you’re facing your own battles, know that you’re not alone. AchieveNova is here to help you build the life you deserve. I’m proud to offer this, and I am excited to help you start your journey.
