I hold a Master’s degree in Library Science with a concentration in the Preservation of Archival Cultural Materials, which provided me with strong training in research, civic history, and interpreting complex documents. My academic background emphasizes information literacy, critical analysis, and the ability to break down detailed materials into clear, understandable instruction. This foundation directly supports my work tutoring students preparing for the U.S. citizenship test and naturalization interview.
In addition to my work as a professional librarian supporting adult learners, I have experience working with a nonprofit organization, JCBS Global, where I assisted clients with immigration documentation and the process of obtaining permanent resident cards and citizenship. In this role, I worked closely with individuals navigating the naturalization process, helping them understand required forms, documentation, and procedural steps. This hands-on experience has given me practical insight into both the academic and administrative components of citizenship preparation.
I have supported adults from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds in one-on-one settings, guiding them through civics content, reading practice, and mock interview preparation. My teaching approach is structured, patient, and confidence-building. I focus not only on helping students memorize answers to the 100 civics questions, but also on ensuring they understand the principles behind them so they can approach their interview with clarity and confidence.
