About
The decision to shift from teaching to tech wasn't easy, but it has been incredibly fulfilling. Based in Providence and from Miami, I'm hoping to leverage my multicultural/multilingual perspective wherever I am planted. On any given day, you can find me going down rabbit holes of opportunities for self-learning and self-improvement, finding ways to share my opportunities with others along the way.
