I am a graduate of Cornell University with a BA in English, and the School of Oriental and African Studies with an MS in Research for International Development. I currently work as an Editor for a start-up company, and am passionate about the art of communication. Whether I'm editing, writing articles for publications, or tutoring, I think the ability to communicate clearly and effectively is key in any discipline. In my free time I enjoy running, writing poetry and short stories, and traveling.

I am passionate about education and expanding educational opportunities for all students. It was this passion that led me to become a 10th Grade English teacher for two years in a public school in Miami-Dade. I worked on both writing and reading with my students.
