Along with my passions for performance and writing, I have cultivated a love for education. I was always that annoying kid who hated summer because it meant no school. Don't worry; I don't feel the same way now.

​

Naturally, I fell into tutoring friends and family friends in subjects like English, math, and Spanish whenever they needed help.

​

At Penn, after taking the compulsory writing seminar (I elected to take one on The Great Gatsby, my favorite book. Cliché, I know.), I was selected to be a tutor at the Marks Family Critical Writing Center, where I spent three years mentoring and guiding undergraduates of all disciplines through perfecting style, reasoning, tone, and grammar in their essays. And one of my summer jobs was as a writing and performing arts instructor at a summer enrichment program for middle school-aged children.

​

My first "real world" job was as a senior college applications consultant for CollegeVine, a completely virtual position for which I served as a one-stop-shop for all things college for high school seniors and for which I navigated juniors through the notorious spring semester. I worked directly with students who gained admittance to top-tier schools including Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Emory, Johns Hopkins, and WashU. And needless to say, I became a pro at working with students on college essays. For my second applications cycle, I was a cohort leader, serving as the point person for approximately ten other employees at the company with the same position. You can also check out a short webinar I hosted about getting to Penn through CollegeVine here! Then, I was a writing coach at Prompt, a company that provides comprehensive reviews for college applications essays, and a senior applications advisor for CollegeAdvisor.com, once again guiding students through all stages of the college applications process. Now, I'm the advising manager at Great Minds Advising, a Westchester County-based company that advises high school students through their entire high school careers, up to and including the college apps process. In addition to carrying my own student load, I train new advisors to ensure they understand the college applications and admissions processes and that they're ready to take on their own students.

​

I also currently tutor for a company called Carnegie Hill Test Prep. With Carnegie Hill, I prepare students for all sections of the SAT and ACT, and I tutor high school English, math, and biology at all levels. I am also working with the CEO of Carnegie Hill to develop a college applications program.
