I have a strong background in biology, environmental science, business, and individualized education, combining formal academic experience with decades of real-world professional application. I attended UMASS Boston for biology and environmental science and was accepted to Harvard University, ultimately choosing instead to focus on growing my business career. For the past 25 years, I have successfully owned and operated businesses, developing extensive expertise in leadership, communication, strategic thinking, and practical problem-solving. I also hold a Certified Trauma Support Specialist (CTSS) certification through the Arizona Trauma Institute - Trauma Institute International, which further strengthens my ability to support diverse learners with empathy, structure, and individualized strategies.
My educational and teaching experience includes homeschooling my 13-year-old son, where I actively apply personalized teaching methods across science, psychology, critical thinking, and academic development. Through this hands-on experience, I have developed a flexible, student-centered approach that adapts to different learning styles, strengths, and challenges. My teaching emphasizes comprehension, confidence-building, and real-world application rather than rote memorization.
My approach to tutoring is rooted in practical knowledge, adaptability, and helping students truly understand subjects in ways that connect to their everyday lives. Whether supporting students in biology, environmental science, psychology, or homeschool education, I focus on creating engaging, supportive learning experiences that foster independence, critical thinking, and long-term academic success.
