I am a Brown University graduate, and I received my Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies (focusing on international development). Right after graduation, I worked as a professional academic coach, college advisor and tutor for a year at a test prep and college advising company based in Silicon Valley; there, I worked individually with middle school and high school students on subjects ranging from ISEE/SSAT test prep, college admissions essays, middle school subjects, and time management/academic preparedness. I've always had a passion for teaching, coaching, and helping others grow, whether it be through piano lessons, English classes, mentoring sessions, or college essay brainstorming.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking and running outdoors, attending live performances, and experimenting with strange food combinations. Chocolate syrup and fried egg sandwich, anyone?
