My expertise is in English, College & University Admissions & Essays, Writing & working with students with intellectual or developmental disabilities as a registered behavioral therapist with ABA experience. As a certified peer recovery specialist, I am uniquely qualified to help students of all levels from elementary to doctoral to adult learners excel in writing, research, test prep, organizational skills, and even creative fields like theatre, Roblox game design or other new interests! With 15+ years of experience, I specialize in supporting neurodivergent learners and those facing mental health challenges, blending academic rigor with curiosity-driven learning. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and resilience so students grow both academically and personally.

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.
