My name is Shonda Leonard, Ph.D. I am the educational consultant behind Discovery Quests. My consulting services primarily focus on the following two areas:

Secondary School Pathways & University Admissions

With nearly twenty years of experience working in the education sector, I am a devoted advocate for students. I understand that there are countless ways to define success, and a multitude of pathways available to each student to help them achieve their goals. Over the past seven years, I have helped students complete their secondary schooling, and go on to be accepted to prestigious universities across the globe - including the United Kingdom (Imperial College of London, St. Andrews, Durham, London School of Economics); the United States (University of California at Irvine, American Musical and Dramatic Academy); Australia (Monash University and the University of Sydney), Japan, and the Netherlands. Many of these students sought alternatives to traditional academic pathways in order to pursue their passions. If your family is looking to identify alternative pathways to success for your student, send me a message via the Contact Us page. I would love to help! 

Developing Curriculum Resources

Through my years of experience as a researcher, scientific editor, and teacher I have honed my skills in scientific communication. I have extensive experience developing engaging lessons aimed at helping students think critically as they explore the wonders of the world around them. If you need curriculum designed for a particular topic in math or science, or are looking for unique ways to connect math and science to other disciplines, I'd love to explore ways that I could help.
