I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I studied Sociology and Spanish and spent a majority of my time outside of the classroom working with middle school students. There, I tutored my students in Common Core subjects. I understand that middle school students are well on their way to becoming independent adults, and I'm passionate about developing creative strategies to fit that unique period of development. Aside from this, I love writing and editing others' written works. In High School I was the Managing Editor of my school newspaper, and I worked at a variety of publications including the Cal Alumni Magazine and a Cuban Travel blog throughout college. Today, I edit on a freelance basis and specialize in everything from business memos to expository blog pieces. My journalism experience honed my skills in crafting concise messaging that conveys deep meaning. Outside of working with students, I love to create large works of art, listen to podcasts while walking around my city, and cook meals with friends!
