What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to multilingual, cross-cultural education through engaging ELA, ESL, or humanities instruction, curriculum design, and inclusive learning experiences for diverse learners.

I've taught English Language Arts, ESL, and Humanities for more than 14 years across international, virtual, middle school, high school, and adult-learning settings. Most recently, I designed inquiry-based, collaborative learning experiences for Legacy Online School and a Virtual International School.

I'm an Illinois-licensed PK-12 ELA and ESL educator who brings differentiated instruction, curriculum design, multilingual communication, and cross-cultural perspective to the classroom. I also have experience teaching IELTS and Business English, leading eTwinning exchanges, and creating English radio, film club, storytelling, and school magazine programs.
