I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from Columbia University, with a concentration in American Politics and Political Theory. I will be continuing my education at the University of Chicago this fall to pursue a Master's Degree in Social Sciences, with the aspiration to obtain both my JD and PhD!

I have been working with students as a tutor for the last 12 years of my life across a multitude of ages, subjects, and skillsets. For the entirety of my adult life, I have always had at least two students that I was supporting! My work with students has spanned across the displines of mathematics, reading and writing, study skills, personal essay development, history, public speaking and more! In my various tutoring roles---both private and with organizations---I have been extensively trained on best pedgogical practices, developing student-specific study plans, and how to orient a student towards achieving their highest academic potential!

My approach within the tutoring space is one of collaboration, hard work, and aims to foster confidence and independence within my students. If you or your child are ready to put in the effort, all the while having fun, we would be a great fit!

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I currently work for ElevatED College and Tutoring Consulting, a company that guides high school and community college students through the entire process of developing college essays and supplements. I work with my students to turn brainstorming into polished essays by following a cycle of ideation, drafting, content editing, and copyediting. I have been doing this work for 3 years and have worked with 10+ students in this capacity. Before this, I was employed at a law firm as a paralegal, where a major facet of my work was copy editing, fact checking, and drafting written arguments, memoranda, and briefs. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor's degree from Columbia University in Political Philosophy. I graduated with Honors for the successful completion of an honors thesis that totaled 50 pages of unique, qualitative research.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I won the New York State Mock Trial Association Tournament in 2017 as lead attorney, having presented live to a federal judge and an audience of 50+ people. I continued my mock trial public speaking development in college, where I was awarded 8 tournament-specific Best Attorney Awards and 1 All-Regional Best Attorney Award for my presentations. Throughout my mock trial career, I was trained twice per week on oration skills by professional attorneys. I was awarded the George William Prize in Oration at Columbia University for presenting the best persuasive speech in 2021. I have taught two volunteer courses over the summer to high school students on public speaking, devising exercises, assignments, and goals for them to complete.
Study Skills

Study Skills

While an undergraduate student, I worked as a Peer Consultant within my school's Advising Office, providing one-to-one support for students who were struggling both academically and organizationally. Through this role, I was trained in and gained experience with identifying best practices for studying, knowledge retention, organization, and implementing student-specific performance plans. I have continued this work with my current students, ensuring that they have all the tools necessary to be the best scholar that they can be!
