Experience: Currently, I work for a production company called Pyro Art Solutions, as a member of the Partnership, Research and Production teams. My ventures in business and freelance tutoring began in 2011, when I began a Spanish and English language and international business etiquette tutoring and consulting service in 2011. Moreover, I have taught, researched, and collaborated with publications while at and the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University in the fields of Linguistics, Sports Management, and Sports Psychology. Although I am no longer teaching at the University of Pennsylvania, I am still part of the Penn community as a College of Arts and Sciences endorsed tutor.

An official resume is available upon request. A Quick note about my style: My greatest goal while tutoring, is to help students reach their personal goals and aspirations. I also treasure one on one and small group learning environments. With that in mind, I work to provide individualized learning environments that meet my students needs, and help them grow in their knowledge about a concept.
