I graduated from Tufts University in 2012 with degrees in Italian Studies, History, and Communications, and I continue to utilize all three fields. Writing my thesis on the continuity of fascism in Italian film, I earned my Master's degree in Modern European Studies from Columbia University in 2014, and, still proudly calling New York my home, I am currently pursuing my doctorate in Italian Studies at Columbia.

I have been tutoring and teaching students of all ages (from grades 4 and 5 to the university level) for almost a decade, but I now especially focus on foreign languages -- Spanish and Italian chiefly among them -- and test prep. I believe that I am a great fit for most students, since I realize that there several types of learning; I try to design each lesson that meets both the students' needs and outside interests.

My own outside interests include cooking, traveling (20 countries & counting!), photography, reading, and, of course, watching the New York Jets on Game Day!
