"I am a current Dean of Students with over 20 years of experience in elite independent schools, where I have served as a Spanish teacher, department chair, college counselor, and academic leader. I hold a B.A. in Spanish, summa cum laude, and have completed all doctoral coursework (ABD) in Spanish Literature. I’ve supported students across a wide range of ages and learning profiles in both classroom and one-on-one settings, and I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every session.

I specialize in Spanish tutoring (including AP, IB, and heritage speakers), college essay coaching, executive functioning support, and college and career advising. I have deep experience working with both neurodivergent and neurotypical learners and am especially skilled at helping students who need structure, reassurance, and individualized pacing. My sessions are highly personalized and focused on helping students meet academic goals while building clarity, confidence, and independence.

As a college coach, I support students through every phase of the application process, including school list development, essay writing, and strategy planning. I also work with high school and college students as a life coach, helping them strengthen organization, motivation, and self-management. Whether we’re tackling a Spanish subjunctive review or refining a personal statement, I help students engage with the work in a way that feels meaningful and manageable." less...
