I am a practicing parent attorney with dual degrees from Villanova University. I graduated with a BS in chemical engineering, immediately followed by a JD. I have studied for and taken the ACT, SAT, LSAT and scored in the top percentile on each. I am both engaging and relatable, and believe in finding ways to study effectively that work for each student individually rather than studying constantly.
