Fun Facts

I love reading and baking! At one point, I had over 10 animals—even chickens! I also have a 14-year age gap with my little sister, who I love—she’s my mini-me. Through her, I’ve learned to be more selfless and to connect with people of all ages.

About Me

Hi everyone! I have a degree in psychology and am currently enrolled in a university to obtain my BSN through an accelerated nursing program to become a pediatric oncology nurse. Throughout college, I remained on the Dean’s List and graduated cum laude. I also have a much younger sibling, which has helped me develop patience and strong communication skills.

Experience

Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to volunteer at organizations like New Haven Reads, where I helped tutor children to improve their reading and writing skills. Additionally, I have experience working in the school system with children who have learning disabilities and ASD. I also completed an internship at Michelle Ragozzine and Associates, a play-based therapy center focused on Applied Behavioral Analysis.

Approach

As a child, I had a speech impediment that made me insecure and afraid to ask for help. Fortunately, I met an incredible speech therapist whose kindness, patience, and guidance helped me not only improve my speech but also gain confidence and break out of my shell. Because of this experience, I take a similar approach to tutoring. I encourage questions, foster a supportive learning environment, and allow students the time they need to work through their challenges at their own pace.
