About me
My Mission
When I was in college, I had a gym buddy named Emily. She and I would go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I remember how productive I felt afterwards and how good it made me feel.
Six years later, I was working on avoiding writing a paper for class. Why couldn’t I have a gym buddy, but for homework? So that’s what I invented.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down at my computer, fully
intent on doing one thing, but then getting distracted and working on something else. Maybe you’re doing that right now.
No matter what phase of life you’re in, we all have projects to work on. And we could all do with an extra dose of motivation. Wouldn’t it be great if there was something that could help us with that?
That’s where GoalKeeprs comes in. This isn’t just a to-do list or an
elaborate planner. This is a community of like-minded individuals who need a little extra oomph to Get It Done. Instead of sitting around, frustrated that you aren’t working on whatever you need to work on, join us and turn your ‘something’ into ‘something done’.
Mission Statement
Our services at GoalKeeprs include productivity solutions, guided coaching, digital co-working, and accountability to anyone who needs it. Our aim is to help others be successful, however they define “success.”
We hope our supportive atmosphere and creative accountability give you the time and space you need to accomplish your goals.
My Core Values
As someone with ADHD and who has done my entire master’s degree virtually, I can tell you, it wasn’t easy. My experiences shaped me and my values along the way. In my work and my personal life, I’ve learned to embody and value the following:
- Creativity and passion
- Proactively planning ahead
- Determination and hard work
- Advocating your needs
- Above all, kindness

Testimonials
GoalKeeprs gets a 10000000/10 from me!
I would recommend it to any student who is in need of a healthy, supportive environment as well as time-management skills.
I used GoalKeeprs as a way to stay on track for my Fall 2022 semester in my master’s in public health. It was great to have someone available to help keep me accountable. It was easy and convenient for my schedule to have Raleigh support my educational goals – which included turning in weekly material in on time.
Great program!

All my life, I’ve struggled to get things done. I’ve felt a lot of shame in this: why couldn’t I do my homework? Why couldn’t I clean my room? Why couldn’t I just do BASIC tasks?? Lazy. Stupid. Incapable. These words buzzed around in my head for years. I felt like I’d tried absolutely everything: To-do lists, phone reminders, every type of app you could imagine, there was no way I could keep myself accountable. A friend told me to give GoalKeepers a shot: I decided to give it a chance, and I can’t overstate how life-changing it was. Externalizing accountability solved the problem for me. Being in a setting OPTIMIZED for people like me made me realize I wasn’t alone. It’s helped me learn how to set goals, how to break them into smaller pieces, and to finally get things DONE. GoalKeepers has been indispensable for me; I finally feel like my life is in my hands again.
