Aya Parry is an educator and mentor dedicated to helping teens discover direction, confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose as they prepare for their futures. Through years of working closely with students and families in homeschool and community learning environments, she has guided adolescents as they navigate important decisions about education, career pathways, and personal growth.

In 2017, Aya co-founded Inspired Learning Academy, a microschool serving middle and high school students. There, she worked closely with students through weekly one-on-one mentorship meetings, supporting them in shaping their academic paths while also nurturing their social-emotional well-being during these formative years.

Aya has a natural ability to connect with teens and create an environment where they feel seen, heard, and understood. Her approach helps students gain clarity about their strengths, interests, and motivations so they can make thoughtful, aligned decisions about their next steps. Her guidance blends practical mentorship with intuitive insight, helping students explore possibilities that feel both meaningful and authentic.

She founded My Inner Compass to give teens a dedicated space for reflection, conversation, and guidance as they consider their future. Aya works alongside students and families to help young people navigate this important stage of life with greater clarity, independence, and confidence.
