Fun Facts

My FAVORITE pastimes when I am not working are: traveling, trying new recipes, and running. Every summer, I take six students abroad for a week to a country of their choice. I love all types of music, and I am currently teaching myself how to play the guitar. I do not have to use an alarm clock to wake me up in the mornings, because I have two dogs, a Chug and a Yorkie Poo, who wake me up at the same time everyday. I LOVE learning different languages.

About Me

Upon graduating from boston-college">Boston College, with honors as a McNair Scholar, I joined Teach for America, teaching middle school English in Los Angeles for four years. At both Markham Middle School and ICEF Vista Middle Academy, I helped improve school-wide instruction by designing curriculum, creating intervention programs, and leading professional developments. Recently, I graduated from the Coro Fellows Program in Los Angeles, a nine-month postgraduate fellowship in public affairs.

Every child is capable of achieving academic success in all subjects, as long as they are given the academic tools they need to do so. During my tutoring sessions, I hope to help students determine the tools that will best help them meet their academic goals thro
