I am currently enrolled at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, where I am working toward my Masters of Science in Speech Language Pathology, with a focus in literacy. I believe deeply in the power of education and have dedicated much of my life to it as the daughter of an educator and as a former educator myself. My direct classroom experience includes a year teaching Spanish to 4th graders, a semester as Elementary ELL support, and a year teaching high school Algebra in a bilingual, inclusive classroom in the Bronx. Outside of the classroom, I have served as a community development volunteer in Cusco, Peru, provided English language support in Chacraseca, Nicaragua, helped facilitate an after-school enrichment program, and have tutored independently for over three years. I find that students often need to build the belief in their own ability as they build on content knowledge. Along with my studies and passion for education, I also love to spend time trying out challenging new recipes, watching movies, reading, hiking, and exploring Boston.

Reading, hiking, traveling and learning new languages, cooking, yoga, jogging, spending time with friends and family, watching movies, going to parks and museums.
