I am a veteran educator with over 10 years of experience working with teens and young adults. I have worn many hats in the field of education. I've been a high school teacher, the social skills and academic manager at a progressive private school, the group director of a teen travel summer camp, and the owner of a small private tutoring business. My philosophy for my clients is one of compassion, respect and occasional tough love, with the ultimate goal of helping the teens and young adults I work with on their journey of becoming independent, confident adults. 

​

I currently reside in northern Virginia and offer my services virtually across the globe. I enjoy the outdoors, especially biking, soccer and surfing, nerding out on a variety of topics, and my Baltimore Ravens. I hold dual degrees in Secondary Education and History from the University of Maryland, College Park, and am a graduate of their Honors Program. I also host and produce The Educator Podcast, I encourage you to check it out!
