I am a JD student at Trinity Law School with an undergraduate degree in Finance from Roosevelt University. My coursework spans contracts, torts, civil procedure, Constitutional law, and core finance subjects including financial analysis, accounting, marketing and economics. Before law school I completed graduate-level work in communication and trained professionally as an actor and screenwriter - disciplines that require rigorous study of human behavior and high-stakes performance under pressure.

My tutoring experience has been primarily one-on-one with adult learners, typically college-aged and older, in informal and self-directed contexts. I have helped peers work through legal reasoning frameworks, essay structure, and the transition from undergraduate thinking to graduate-level analytical writing. My approach centers on dialogue - I ask questions that expose exactly where understanding breaks down rather than simply re-explaining material. This method works particularly well for law students who understand the rules but struggle to apply them under exam conditions.

I work exclusively online via Zoom, making sessions flexible and accessible regardless of a student's location. Sessions typically run 60 minutes and are structured around the student's specific sticking point rather than a generic curriculum. My cross-disciplinary background in finance, law, writing, and acting gives me an unique ability to meet students where they are and translate difficult concepts into language that actually lands.

Approved Subjects

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

My creative writing background spans screenwriting and narrative prose fiction, disciplines that share a common core of elements: constructing compelling characters, conflict design, and story structure. I completed graduate-level work in Communication, Media, and Theater, where I studied rhetoric, narrative theory, and performance. As a screenwriter I have developed original material across multiple formats, learning to write with precision and economy. I work one-on-one with adult writers who are stuck on structure, voice, or the gap between their idea and the page.
Law

Law

I am a dedicated Juris Doctor (JD) candidate at Trinity Law School, currently maintaining a strong focus on core legal doctrines including Contracts, Torts, and Criminal Law. I hold a Master of Legal Studies (MLS) degree, which provides a rigorous foundation in legal theory and procedural frameworks. Beyond academia, I have extensive experience navigating the California civil court system as a pro se litigant. I am currently managing active civil lawsuits against major corporations, which involves drafting formal demand letters, navigating discovery, and managing complex filings. My approach to tutoring is informed by this "law in action" perspective, which bridges the gap between casebook theory and the practical realities of litigation and consumer protection claims. Whether you are prepping for the CA First-Year Law Students Exam ("Baby Bar") or a law school final, I provide precision-focused drills designed for performance.
