Hi! I'm a professor at Loyola University and a middle school teacher at the Lycée Français, with over five years of experience teaching kids and young adults. Originally from New York, I’ve lived in New Orleans for the past five years—and love spending my free time rollerskating around the city! I have an MFA in Creative Writing, a background in neurobiology, and experience working with children with special needs at the UC Davis MIND Institute. I’m passionate about creating engaging, age-appropriate activities, and I’m happy to offer tutoring in reading, writing, and even college applications for older students. I’m reliable, warm, and always meet kids where they are. I have a car, an active license, and am available for both day and overnight care. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
