Lauran Kerr-Heraly is an award-winning educator and author. She currently serves as a history professor and Innovation Fellow at Houston Community College.

As an executive function coach, she works with teens and their parents too. She helps develop a holistic approach to school success, which includes a focus on essential skills, executive function, and emotional awareness. She uses gamification in her coaching to motivate and engage.
