"With over two decades of experience in education, I bring a wealth of expertise and passion to tutoring. Holding a Doctorate in Education from UCLA, along with a Master’s and Bachelor’s from the same institution, my academic journey has been deeply rooted in teaching, learning, and community engagement. I have taught a wide range of university courses in education, including introductory classes, community service learning, and directed research projects. My teaching philosophy focuses on equity-centered and inclusive practices, ensuring that every student feels empowered to succeed.

Beyond academia, I have spearheaded transformative initiatives as the Director of UCLA Community Schools, fostering partnerships that enhance college readiness and academic achievement for diverse learners. My work in developing innovative programs for PK-12 and postsecondary students has consistently focused on bridging gaps in education and promoting systemic change. I also have extensive experience mentoring students of all ages, from early childhood education to professional development for educational leaders, tailoring my approach to meet individual learning styles and goals.

In my tutoring sessions, I strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where students can build confidence and achieve their full potential. Whether guiding through challenging coursework, enhancing critical thinking skills, or preparing for academic milestones, I am committed to making learning an enriching and transformative experience. I look forward to the opportunity to share my expertise and support students on their educational journeys." less...
