As a dedicated educator with an MFA in Screenwriting and a Master's in Education from Fordham University—one of the best education schools in the country—I have built a robust career focused on teaching and tutoring. I am also TC (Teachers College) certified, which underscores my commitment to high educational standards. My journey began as a middle school teacher in the South Bronx, where I developed a deep understanding of diverse learning styles and the unique challenges students face. This experience taught me the importance of creating an inclusive environment that fosters curiosity and encourages critical thinking.

Five years ago, I transitioned into my role as a college professor, where I continue to inspire and support students in their academic journeys. With a focus on reading and writing, I employ various instructional methods to engage students in meaningful discussions and real-world applications. In addition to my classroom experience, I have served as a dedicated tutor, including a transformative five-year mentorship with Anna, who is now thriving in college. I strive to build confidence in my students and cultivate a genuine love for learning by connecting lessons to their interests and aspirations. I am excited to offer my expertise and passion for education to help students of all ages achieve their academic goals and make learning a rewarding experience.
