While attending the University of Chicago (2003-2007), I completed a rigorous curriculum characterized by both advanced coursework in mathematics and the social sciences. Each year leading up to graduation, I served as a mathematics tutor within the Cook County School district. I specialized in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Following my return to Southern California after graduation, I accepted a position as a bilingual instructional assistant within the Saddleback Valley School district. Within this capacity, I assist students with Algebra and Calculus in both Spanish and English. Furthermore, having studied abroad extensively in Italy during college, I am proficient in both Italian and Latin as well.

As the eldest of five children, I have a life of experience working with children and teaching has always been a part of my life, even before I began working in education professionally. I believe that all students should be treated with respect and professionalism and I believe that this is the basis of any good educational approach. I also find that understanding a particular student's needs and learning style is essential. I often employ the Socratic method of teaching students, using questions to elicit thought-provoking discussion of materials. In 2005, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Carroll College with a BA in English Writing and Literature. During this time I was awarded membership into six National Honors Societies for academic excellence in various studies, including English Writing, English Literature and Philosophy. After graduating, I entered into Graduate Studies in Writi
