About me
I have worked in the education field over 7 years helping middle school and high school students achieve their educational goals. I have been an academic advisor, mentor and tutor to students who need guidance, motivation and support. I served in the Peace Corps as a youth and family development volunteer in Loja, Ecuador and as a volunteer leader in Machala, Ecuador. I am currently working in obtaining my Master's degrees in Public Administration and International Education Management at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.
