About
BACKGROUND
I earned a B.A., summa cum laude, from NYU in History and Political Science. In addition, I produced a 100-page honors thesis in History, thereby attaining the academic distinction of "highest honors" in History. The scholarship found a minor publication outlet, and it became a staple of my advisor's reading material from there on in for a lecture course he taught consistently.
Also minoring in Philosophy and Spanish Language, I gained a broad perspective of the liberal arts tradition, acquiring an unshakeable yearning to question, contemplate, probe, and adapt my writing to any requirement at any time.
Upon graduating, I served as an investigator for the City of New York, interviewing parties, collecting/analyzing evidence, and adjudicating, in comprehensive reports, alleged misconduct perpetrated by public officials.
After quickly ascending the ranks to team management, I led my 13-investigator team to ranking best in the agency in terms of quality of investigations and the expeditious nature in which each was conducted.
Following a few years of removal from the undergraduate experience, I then attended Georgetown University Law, earning my J.D. magna cum laude in 2018.
Never interested in practice, I immediately earned an adjunct faculty position the fall semester following graduation. In this role, I have taught courses across multiple disciplines: Politics, Legal Studies, Criminal Justice, History, and Philosophy. I've been a lecturer to large introduction freshman courses while also teaching advanced undergraduate lectures and intimate seminars. Such seminars were engaged students in the process of exploring primary and secondary sources to synthesize their vision or perspective on relevant course themes. Finally, I've also taught doctrinal law courses and graduate seminars, the latter writing-intensive.
As I tutor several subjects online, on the side, I also participate in legal projects, work as a journal peer reviewer, and likely will produce learning content for students in the near future.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I look at each student as an individual with his or her own needs. That is why I tailor my my tutoring techniques and plan of study specifically for him or her.
Upon meeting a student, I first always go out of my way to form an open and friendly relationship, so that the student is comfortable not just sitting across from me but also in the question-asking process which is critical to learning.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
