About Me

From a very young age, as the eldest of five siblings, I enjoyed teaching and caring for youth, sharing experiences, learning, laughing, playing, bonding, guiding.

It is my honor to tutor, mentor and consult all ages from all walks of life! The most exciting part is that I learn as much as I teach. I truly believe in the saying, “teamwork makes the dream work.”

I was born and raised in Europe and settling in California in 1991. I love to travel and enjoy immersing myself in and embracing different countries and cultures.

I relish being a productive and helpful member of society. I have volunteered my time with multiple organizations throughout my life from homeless shelters, to the foster care system and its youth, to teaching and counseling children on a refugee camp in Greece.

I live a very active lifestyle. I run, swim, ski and do pilates regularly. I also practice wellness including yoga, meditation and spending time in nature.

I love reading, writing, movies, music, outdoor adventures, traveling, cooking, gardening and having fun with best buddy, Mia, my chocolate lab.

Tutoring Experience

From 1991 to 1998, I was a private tutor to multiple youth helping with educational areas of difficulty, homework, organization and personal encouragement. From 1995 to 1997, I pursued a career in teaching, serving as a teacher’s assistant and daycare associate. Over the last twenty-five years I have been of service to multiple homeless shelters and youth programs, actively participating in varied service initiatives. One of my greatest life experiences was serving as a volunteer in the Child Friendly Space of a refugee camp in Greece a few years ago and most recently in a Bahamian public school as a guidance counselor and tutor. Throughout my twenty-five year career in the Home & Shelter Publishing industry (1997-2022) I mentored, consulted and managed design industry professionals; from entry level positions to fully established.
