I live in Los Angeles, California. I am an avid reader who also enjoys playing tennis, going to workout classes, hiking, and traveling. My professional journey began as a nursing assistant in a nursing home, providing care to elderly and rehabilitative patients. I found my passion for education while working at a boarding school, where I had the privilege of working with students from around the world. When I'm not working, I’m deeply committed to community service, participating in monthly beach cleanups and volunteering twice weekly at my local animal rescue to care for animals in need.
