I love learning about new topics so if there are any texts or works not associated with the subjects mentioned above, I am more than happy to work on them with you!
About me: I was born in Los Angeles, CA., and grew up in a multilingual family. I relocated to the East Coast to teach high school students as an AmeriCorps Fellow and subsequently attended the Yale Graduate School, where I am a Ph.D. Candidate with two Master of Arts degrees in Literature. Prior to this, I earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and a Master of Arts degree the University of Southern California (USC). I have taught students ranging from high school to graduate school. I enjoy eating carbs, reading fiction, and attending the theatre.
I am passionate about empowering students to reach for their academic and personal goals, which means that I support students by holding them accountable in performing to the best of their abilities (please inform me in advance regarding any issues about behavior or neurodivergence)." less...
