I am a Bellingham MA Public High School graduate, where I was a French tutor for levels 2 through 5 Honors and Standard, as well as AP French, and led peer tutoring initiatives as an NHS officer, supporting classmates in AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus, and PLTW. I am studying Biology and Neuroscience on the pre-med track at Columbia University, where I continue to nurture my passion for helping students succeed. My involvement in three research teams, including one on molecular biology that received international publication, has sharpened my ability to explain complex scientific concepts clearly. While I tutor various subjects, I find the greatest joy in teaching French and the sciences, aspects of foreign language studies joined with the complexity of STEM, being part of the rewarding moments when students grasp challenging ideas.

Besides the school and research aspects of my education, I like to draw. I'm a big fan of portraits and draw people's portraits using only a #2 pencil. I learned this hobby from my beloved grandmother, who used to be an artist for fun back when she was younger. I also really like to swim. Being in the water is one of the best things I want to do indoors or outdoors. It relieves pressure from every part of the body, is a fantastic exercise for staying fit, and is one of the best ways to enjoy free time. Speaking of free time, I also like to watch movies of every kind, either action, documentaries, or true stories; these moments are not just for relaxation but also a chance to connect with friends and family, making them truly special.
