Experience

I have been an enthusiastic elementary teacher for 8 years and spent 1 year as a literacy coach. I have been tutoring privately since 2003. At the start of my career, I jumped on the opportunity to be one of six founding teachers at an urban charter school in South Los Angeles. I joined a team who contemplated educational theory and best classroom practices; who thought big picture; who believed in the development of the whole child. I designed curriculum, led conferences, mentored student teachers. Later, I moved to Colombia to fulfill a dream of teaching abroad. I learned Spanish and taught in the private sector, while immersing myself in Colombian culture. A long time nutrition advocate for kids, this past year I received my health coaching certification. I bring to any student I teach my experience of living abroad, my adaptability, creativity and ability to motivate diverse students, my curiosity and passion for a healthier way of living, and my commitment and enthusiasm for education.

Hobbies

I love treks through South America, great coffee made from gifted baristas, random acts of kindness, and swimming in the pouring rain. Dancing soothes my soul. I secretly wish I were a rock star, even though I am pretty sure that I’m tone deaf. I wish every child had the experience of sleep away camp. I think face-to-face communication is the life force of human relationships and technology disrupts that. I believe that people are inherently good and laughter is what connects us all.
