With over 15 years of experience, I work with learners of all agesfrom K12 students to PhD candidates completing dissertations. My specialty lies in supporting neurodivergent students and those navigating mental health challenges. I bring both academic rigor and curiosity-driven learning, creating spaces where students are challenged, inspired, and empowered to think critically.

At the core of my work is connection, built on a genuine love for education. I cultivate rapport that transforms tutoring into collaboration, where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and grow beyond expectations. I use questions, prompts, and discussion to spark curiosity, helping students engage deeply with material and discover answers on their own. I focus on teaching students how to learn, not just how to complete assignments, developing lasting skills in problem-solving, study habits, and independent learning.

As a Registered Behavior Technician and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, I integrate Applied Behavior Analysis, IEP or family behavioral and academic goals, and individualized strategies into instruction. My background in social work and theatre sharpens my ability to engage both heart and mind, fostering resilience, creativity, and confidence. I have guided students through complex challengesfrom refining essays and preparing for standardized tests to supporting PhD candidates on dissertationsconsistently helping learners achieve measurable results while building self-assurance and independence.

I approach each session with flexibility, empathy, and strategy, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and goals. Lifelong learning drives my own practice, and I bring that curiosity and energy into every session. My goal is to empower students to grow beyond expectations, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and mindset to succeed academically and beyond. I welcome your questions and look forward to helping you unlock your potential.

Hobbies

I’m endlessly curious—drawn to stories, writing, ideas, and people. Books and journals have been my constant companion, and I’m always chasing new words in Spanish. Volunteering in community outreach, especially with folks experiencing homelessness, keeps me grounded in what matters most. I find inspiration in the artistic and unconventional—whether it’s exploring the layers of a game like Disco Elysium, diving into the psychology of Carl Jung, or quietly painting in a sunlit room. Swimming is my reset button, a rare moment of calm in a busy world. My dog, Rupert, is my constant companion—he’s happiest on long river walks or basking in the sun’s warmth. If we end up working together, I’d love to hear what sparks your curiosity—because that’s where the best learning begins.
