I have had the distinct pleasure of teaching for the past 15 years. Caring for my students, seeing them grow, and guiding them through their education has been one of the greatest rewards & joys of my life.
​
I started off as a World History teacher and specialized in East Asian Studies. While in college, I traveled to the Philippines with my father and spent a memorable semester abroad studying in Siena, Italy. Along with a diverse heritage of Filipino & Italian, this is probably where my love of world traveling and cultures came from!
Later, I earned certifications in multiple subjects with a focus on language and discovered a unique passion for teaching middle school and high school students. For five years, I even ran my own business tutoring students at Green Apple Learning Center. Now I teach Italian! You never know where life will take you . . .
​
Thank you to all who have given my life such meaning and purpose through teaching. Grazie di cuore.
