I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelors of Science in Chemistry and a Bachelors of Arts in Italian. I became a formulation chemist for Thermo Fisher Scientific soon after graduation. I was also a tutor for the largest in-home tutoring agency in the country before moving to California.

I was a volunteer leader for the Capital Area Food Bank in Austin and have always been involved in the performing arts as an actor or costume designer. I have spent several years studying Italian, Mandarin, German, and Spanish. I am currently learning American Sign Language.

I have very much enjoyed and found satisfying the experiences I have had working with students. Every student has a different learning style and I enjoy finding the best method to inspire and motivate him or her in whatever subject that they are studying. Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.
