I am a graduate of The University of California, Los Angeles. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies with a focus on Public Health. After graduation, I traveled and volunteered in rural Guatemala as an English tutor. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, cycling and playing soccer.
