I received my PhD in Sociology in 2025 and my masters in Sociology with a certificate in Black & Latino Studies from Brown University. My undergraduate degree was in Economics, with a minor in Spanish. I've been teaching undergraduate college students the last five years, including Sociology and Latino Studies. Some of the classes I've taught are fundamental courses, like Intro to Sociology and Intro to Latino Studies as well as more specialized courses like Bad Bunny's Political & Cultural Impact and Qualitative Methods.

I've mentored undergraduate students on their independent research projects which they later presented on or submitted for publication. It's always a great goal for anyone looking for research experience! I'm passionate about giving people the tools to create new knowledge.

In my teaching and tutoring, I lean into what interests the student. Anything is data and so I encourage my students to study anything that catches their interest, whether it's the latest meme or their favorite TV show! I pride myself on engaging with and connecting with students and am confident in my ability to prepare anyone for college-level coursework.

Not only do I offer examples and exercises from my own coursework to improve your skills, but I'm happy to work with you on just general writing, study and organization skills, and critical reading tasks. I'm always happy to discuss your expectations and am experienced in working with others to create a set of goals and follow through.

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches—I'll help you find what works for YOU.
