About
I’m Gloria Anglón, an Afro-Latina, first-generation college graduate with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate graduate education, important decisions, transitions, and change across MIT, Harvard, Maryland, and USC My work connects two areas I care deeply about: helping people navigate graduate education more wisely and partnering with people as they navigate decisions, relationships, transitions, and the systems that shape their lives—with greater clarity, agency, care, and connection. My approach is collaborative and systems-aware. I bring deep experience in graduate education, thoughtful questions, practical strategy, mindfulness, and attention to what is happening within you, in your relationships, and in the cultural and institutional contexts around you. My role is not to decide for you. It is to help you see more clearly, reconnect with your strengths, supports, and what matters most, and find a way forward that feels wise and workable.
Gloria also coaches for PhD Programs, Master’s Programs, Life Coaching, and Career Coaching. View all.
Gloria’s Mental Health & Wellness Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Director
50+ people coached for Mental Health & Wellness
I help people navigate stress, transitions, decisions, recurring patterns, self-criticism, competing priorities, and everyday life with greater awareness, agency, and care. As a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), I draw on motivational interviewing, behavior-change science, mindfulness, and self-compassion when they support your goals. Together, we can notice what may be shaping your experience within you, in your relationships, and in the systems around you; reconnect with strengths, supports, meaning, and purpose; and explore what response feels wise and workable now. Sometimes coaching is about solving a problem or making a decision. Sometimes it is about making more room for joy, connection, energy, or possibility. Mindfulness practices are optional, and coaching does not replace psychotherapy, diagnosis, crisis care, or medical treatment.

Why do I coach?
I coach because capable people deserve to thrive—not just endure. Across more than 20 years in graduate education, I saw talented people gain meaningful opportunities while still navigating unspoken norms, competing expectations, self-doubt, isolation, and pressure to keep performing. I believe people grow best when they feel seen, supported, and connected to what matters most. Coaching creates space to notice what may be hidden—within ourselves, within our relationships, or within the systems we’re navigating—and to reconnect with strengths, community, purpose, belonging, and possibility. Sometimes our work is about solving a problem or making a decision. Sometimes it is about making more room for joy, meaning, connection, or a greater sense of possibility.
