Edward’s professional experience spans law, labor organizing, and public policy. He has worked as a paralegal at Einbinder, Dunn, Dimitri & Bayer LLP in New York, a Union Organizer with UNITE HERE Local 100, and a Government Affairs Fellow at K&L Gates LLP in Washington, D.C. During college, he founded Notre Dame’s “Raising the Standard Campaign,” a just-wage initiative that helped raise the university’s minimum wage from $8.50 to $15 per hour—resulting in a $25 million annual investment in faculty and staff compensation. Edward’s research and advocacy earned him recognition from the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship and an invitation to present his work on Singaporean wage laws at the 2023 Catholic Social Tradition Conference.
Edward’s passion for teaching began long before his LSAT journey. As a financial literacy tutor for formerly incarcerated adults, he taught over 150 students how to rebuild their financial confidence through a tailored curriculum he designed—one still used by a South Bend, Indiana, nonprofit today. Earlier, as a debate coach, he helped students strengthen their reasoning and public speaking skills, guiding several to the final rounds of national championships.
Drawing from his own experience of what it takes to achieve meaningful score growth, Edward’s goal as a tutor is to help students who were once in his shoes, teaching them the skills, mindset, and discipline that drive lasting improvement. Edward’s tutoring approach is structured and encouraging, combining clear, step-by-step guidance with a focus on building students’ confidence along the way. He connects deeply with students who feel standardized tests don’t come naturally to them.
Edward enjoys traditional Italian cooking, long rallies on the tennis court, and playing jazz beats on his dad’s drum kit. He was once ranked among the top five players in the world in Eden World Builder and attended a Florida high school built over a swamp (and yes, there were gators!).
