With over 15 years of teaching experience all over the world, one of my most rewarding achievements is nurturing my students and watching them grow and flourish on an academic, professional and personal basis. I have lived, studied, and worked abroad in over 14 countries all across North and South America as well as Western and Central Europe, earning invaluable certificates of study in various fields of study and research at some of the world's most prestigious universities, such as Sciences Po Paris, Sapienza Universit di Roma, Universidade de So Paulo, among others, in addition to gaining irreplaceable professional laboural experience by interning and working for the DG Economic and Financial Affairs in the European Parliament of the European Union.

I have three Double Major Honours degree in Political Science and Spanish, French and Italian Studies, and German and Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian Studies from York University (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

My teaching (and by extension, learning) philosophy is based on my firmly held belief that one should strive to become better each and every day in relation to the prior day.
