Meet the Coaches

Threshold Coaches are local to the areas we serve. We are connected to the support staff on campus as well as the care providers in the surrounding community. Our coaches meet students on or near campus which is not only convenient, but supports the development of meaningful connection with them. We deeply value the strengths our students bring with them and strive to provide a balance of empathy and accountability in all our coaching relationships.

Emma Winningham, MEd (she/her) Group Program & Individual Coaching

Emma is a Western Washington University alum and former employee with 7 years of experience coaching college students in academic writing, researching, and general study skills. As a previous student (both undergraduate and graduate studies) and employee of Western, Emma was involved with WWU for a total of 12 years and is intimately familiar with campus resources. She can connect students to support they didn’t even know existed!
As a research, writing, and study skills tutor, Emma focused on supporting students with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, dyslexia and other learning differences. She brings a strong foundation in learning theories, educational equity, and accessibility from her Master’s in Adult and Higher Education. She wants every student to recognize their strengths, especially when so many students are only told about what they’re doing wrong. She knows that learning can look different for every student and celebrates successes that others might miss.
Outside of work, Emma enjoys baking, reading, and relaxing in her hammock on warm summer days (some of her favorite hammock trees are on Western’s campus, so you may see her bright green hammock if you know where to look).

Morann has been working in K-12 and higher education in Washington State for over 20 years and has spent the last nine years of her career working for Washington State University’s Pullman campus as an academic advisor. Through this work especially, Morann has found her ‘professional happy place’ amongst young adults who are working through the challenging life stage of emerging adulthood. She believes that relationships and connections are key, and considers herself well connected to the abundant academic, social, and wellness resources in the WSU and Pullman communities. She takes great pride in being an alumnus of WSU and helping students understand how to utilize their learning strengths and challenges within the academic structure of a university. She truly enjoys supporting humans as they grow, realize their potential, and work toward their academic and life goals.
As a first-generation college student and a life-long learner, Morann earned both of her degrees and a teaching certificate from WSU (Go Cougs!). Her undergraduate degree in Human Development and master’s degree in Educational Leadership have guided her toward life experiences where compassion and empathy for learners is a cornerstone of the work. Every person has a unique way of learning, and she believes that this uniqueness should be promoted and celebrated!
The rest of Morann’s life consists of enjoying the roller coaster ride of parenting three children with varying levels of ADHD! She lives in Pullman with her husband, children, and dogs, and you will find her volunteering all around that small town. She also enjoys camping with her family, tilling around in garden soil, all things wellness, and devouring audiobooks at a break-neck pace.

Jenny is an Advanced Certified ADHD Life Coach who leads with empathy and curiosity. Her journey into ADHD coaching began 14 years ago as a foster parent, when she learned—daily—what it means to support regulation, growth, and resilience under difficult circumstances. Motivated to better support her neurodivergent children—and herself—she went on to complete PCC-level ADHD coach training through the iACT Center.
She supports college students in building their own unique ADHD-friendly strategies for time management, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. In addition to her coaching work, Jenny has designed and led ADHD-focused trainings for parents and educators, helping others understand how to support neurodivergent learners. She also teaches body-based tools that calm the nervous system and make space for clearer thinking—especially during high-stress times like exams, deadlines, and transitions.
Having inattentive-type ADHD herself, Jenny understands ADHD from the inside out. She loves watching clients grow—not just in their understanding of ADHD, but in their autonomy and confidence to create lives that work with their brains, not against them. Her coaching is collaborative, creative, and focused on helping each client take personalized, doable steps forward—ones they actually feel excited to take.
In her first career, Jenny was a graphic designer and illustrator—skills she still uses in coaching when visual tools help ideas land more clearly.
After a year abroad in Lithuania with her family, she now lives on five acres with her husband, three kids, in-laws, a cat, two dogs, and too many chickens. She enjoys kayaking, art, coffee, and pretending she can read a novel without falling asleep.
