I’m a current law student at Seton Hall University School of Law and a full-time IP paralegal in New York. In my work, I manage global patent portfolios, draft and edit legal documents, and support attorneys and inventors through detailed research and organization. These experiences have strengthened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and help others build confidence in their own reading and writing. Law school has also sharpened my comprehension and analytical skills, which I use to help students approach reading and writing with focus and clarity.
I started tutoring back in high school and have worked with students from upper elementary through high school in reading, writing, grammar, and study skills. I love helping students find their voice on the page and develop better study habits that actually work for them. My sessions are personalized, patient, and focused on helping students truly understand the “why” behind what they’re learning. I’ve also mentored college students and adults in academic writing and professional communication.
Outside of law and academics, I’m a freelance photographer. I’ve mentored beginner photographers on lighting, composition, and editing in Adobe Lightroom. Photography gives me a creative outlet and another way to teach skills that build confidence and self-expression. Whether we’re improving an essay or learning how to edit a photo, I want my students to feel supported, capable, and proud of what they create.

Essay Writing

I’m a 4L law student and full-time IP paralegal with years of experience writing and editing detailed legal documents and research papers. I understand how challenging it can be to organize thoughts and clearly express ideas, so I focus on helping students build structure and confidence in their writing. My approach is patient and practical—I break the process into clear steps that make essays easier to plan and polish. I enjoy helping students strengthen their voice, develop clarity, and take pride in their finished work.

I’m a self-taught photographer who began shooting in 2010 and started freelancing professionally in 2017. I specialize in portrait and lifestyle photography, teaching beginners how to capture natural, expressive images using simple lighting and composition techniques.
