From my earliest high school years, I have had a passion for languages- studying Spanish, Italian, French, and German simultaneously by my senior year and continuing studies with Japanese and Russian before finishing high school. I received my BA from Georgetown University where I had begun my studies in the School of Languages and Linguistics and then later transferred to the College of Arts and Sciences to expand my studies to include International Economics and disciplinary studies via the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. During my undergraduate time, I lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina where I studied Political Science, International Economics, and Literature in addition to working in an International Consulting agency. I thrived during my time there socially and academically- researching for two theses to complete my undergraduate studies, with one in Spanish. During my time at Georgetown, I also studied Portuguese and tested at the high proficient level. Finally, I completed my Spanish certification while answering political science questions to a board of Spanish Faculty Professors- scoring the second highest level of fluency in Spanish with distinction for Foreign Service-Political Science knowledge. My Master's degree is in Latin American Studies from UCLA where I studied the economic, social and political science trends- specifically focusing on South America. Since graduating, I have been in sales- mostly commercial financial consulting and look forward to helping share experiences and mentoring in the same consultative style by learning strengths and challenges faced by each student and determining action plans to succeed together- not just teaching a lesson, but ensuring the lesson is active, engaged, and memorable to be enjoyed and lived thereafter.

I enjoy exercising regularly, including pickleball, aerobic gym workouts, and hikes. If I'm home, I'm likely cooking or watching soccer. If I'm traveling for fun, it will likely be to Europe or South America.
