About

I have been in the field of education for over 12 years in the capacity of a tutor, guest teacher, program director, instructor and principal intern. I enjoy supporting non-traditional ways of gaining positive academic outcomes from students -especially in urban, poverty stricken environments. I also have a background in counseling and run a small business supporting youth and community members.
