MIDDLE SCHOOL EDUCATION
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION
EDUCATION MENTOR & COACH
Born and raised in San Francisco, I have gained a firsthand understanding of the complexities and fierce competition that characterize the city's education system. In my ten years as an educator, I have come to realize the absence of resources available to students and their families when it comes to navigating this challenging landscape.
My area of specialization lies in working with middle school students, helping them to unlock their full potential and achieve their academic goals. My ultimate aspiration is to level the playing field for all students, regardless of their backgrounds or socio-economic circumstances. I believe that every young person deserves access to quality educational resources and the opportunity to pursue their dreams with confidence.
In today's ever-changing world, it is more important than ever for young people to be equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive. By providing students and families with the necessary tools and guidance, I hope to empower them to make informed decisions about their educational trajectories.
