Learning should be an exciting and empowering experience, and I strive to make that a reality for every student I work with. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) educator and social worker with a background in psychology, I bring a unique perspective to teachingone that is compassionate, engaging, and tailored to each student's needs.

I hold a Master's in Psychology and a Bachelor's in Sociology/Criminology, and I'm have obtained my TEFL certification to expand my ability to teach English as a second language. With years of experience mentoring, training, and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, I understand that every learner has their own style and strengths. My goal is to help students not only understand the material but also develop confidence and curiosity that lasts a lifetime.

As a lifelong learner myself, I believe education is about more than just factsit's about unlocking potential. Whether I'm teaching language skills, social sciences, or study strategies, I'm committed to making learning a positive, engaging, and rewarding journey for every student.

Hobbies

Outside of teaching, I love staying active and keeping my mind engaged in different ways. I enjoy exercise, especially weightlifting and kickboxing, as a way to challenge myself both physically and mentally. I’m an avid reader and writer, always looking for new stories and ideas to explore. I also love puzzles—whether it’s a tough crossword, a brain-teasing riddle, or a complex jigsaw, I enjoy the challenge of putting pieces together. When I’m not working or learning something new, you can usually find me spending time with my dogs, who keep life fun and full of energy!
