To bring education and opportunity through linguistics into as many lives as possible.

Having been raised in a multilingual household that nurtured a love for languages and books, I've understood the value of linguistics and its incorporation into education from a young age. That lifelong, consistent passion for words led me to a Scripps National Spelling Bee championship, fluency in nearly four languages, and a genuine desire to give back to the global community I've been privileged to be a part of. That desire led to the founding of Kalvi.

 

Through Kalvi, I've been able to work towards advancing educational opportunities for students both in my local community of San Antonio as well as in five different countries. My aim is to create pathways for access to widespread linguistic education, and I have taught (and continue to teach) students around the world in partnership with various organizations to help make that dream a reality.
