I am a Princeton-native writer and educator with a degree in film studies from Hampshire College and a substitute teacher certification from the State of New Jersey. I enjoy working with young people on a one-to-one personal basis, helping guide them intuitively through the process of learning and mastering new intellectual skills - especially those related to reading, writing and critical thinking. Outside of educational work, I am a contributing writer for The Film Stage, a well-known blog dedicated to independent cinema. In addition to film, I am a passionate collector, player and critic of video games!
