Born in New York City, I grew up in New York, London, Vienna, and São Paulo and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish with strong knowledge of French and German. I grew up as a multi-lingual learner and experienced first hand the challenges and joys of transitioning to different schools, adapting to different cultures, and learning in different languages. I spent twelve years in investment banking before turning my career to my real passion, education, focusing on Early Childhood Literacy, as well as English as a Second Language. Since 2017, I have worked with students in the UK, The Netherlands, Spain, Brazil, and the USA providing English as a Second Language tutoring and reading and writing support for students at every stage of their learning. I am always in pursuit of professional development that helps me to better support my students to achieve their goals.
