I just moved back to Virginia after studying and working in Chicago for the past 2 years. As a native Italian speaker, my first tutoring experience was as an Italian tutor when I was an undergrad, and I loved it! I have almost 4 years of tutoring and teaching experience mostly in French, Italian, and writing/editing, with my most recent experience being teaching writing at the University of Chicago. I love teaching, and I believe encouragement provides the shortest path to effective learning.

Outside of work, I love playing or watching soccer, cooking, sewing and knitting, traveling, and generally getting outside and exploring as much as I can.
