Marisa

Certified Tutor

With 15+ years of experience in accounting and financial management, anchored by a Master's in Accounting, I equip students with both technical mastery and practical insight. Began my career overseeing monthly closings and internal controls for a publicly traded company, quickly advancing into SEC reporting, gaining invaluable expertise in financial disclosure and regulatory compliance.

As a Finance Manager at a global pharmaceutical firm, navigated complex budgeting across entities and currencies, managing P&L performance against forecasts, liquidity analysis, and strategic financial planning. Later, as Finance Director, in the same industry collaborated with clinical teams to steward budgets across therapeutic areas bridging fiscal discipline with innovation.

Today, as a licensed corporate attorney in Massachusetts, New York, and D.C., I blend legal insight with business strategy, offering students a multidimensional view of finance in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. I've long championed youth advocacy and mentorship, and am energized by turning confusion into clarity for aspiring learners.

Varsity Tutors' mission to empower students deeply resonates with me and I look forward to helping students master accounting principles, build confidence, and lay the groundwork for lasting success.
