Whether it's preparing high school students for college or guiding current college students through their coursework, my goal is to make the process less stressful and more empowering. I graduated from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and am a certified educator with over ten years of experience teaching English Language Arts to grades 912, including English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). I am also currently pursuing my Master of Business Administration (MBA), which enhances my perspective on higher education and career preparation. Beyond the classroom, I have led college advising workshops focused on admissions essays and application strategies, equipping students with the tools they need to stand out and succeed. I specialize in:College admissions advising and application supportEssay development (college admissions, scholarships, and class assignments)Academic writing, research, and note-taking strategiesReading comprehension and analysis for high school and college-level coursesI believe every student has the ability to succeed when given the right tools and encouragement. My approach is student-centered: I meet learners where they are, build on their strengths, and guide them in becoming confident, independent scholars. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy cooking, reading, and spending time with my energetic four-year-old. I look forward to supporting you on your college journey!

I enjoy reading books for personal growth and for leisure, spending time with my family, and going on adventures.
