About me

I'm an American, temporarily living in Zagreb with my Croatian spouse. I have a degree in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California, and have been mentoring, teaching, and playing with children the majority of my life.

I was the neighborhood babysitter by the age of 12, a children's ski instructor at 15, and helped manage a group home for homeless youth during my undergraduate career.

I don't have a professional teaching background, however, I've worked with several non-profit organizations providing mentorship and academic assistance to children of all ages.

Unfortunately, I'm not fluent in Croatian, however, my Croatian spouse and bulldog are bilingual.😎
