What I'm looking for

I seek a student-centered teaching role using bilingual Spanish/ESL instruction, supporting multilingual learners and families, collaborating with colleagues, and growing curriculum skills focused on communicative fluency and cultural competence.

I am a bilingual educator with Bachelor of Arts degrees in TESOL and Spanish from Lee University and a Qualified Medical Interpreter certification. I have taught Spanish and English in K-12 settings in the U.S. and taught EFL in Spain, building strong classroom instruction and family-communication skills.

I design daily lesson plans that emphasize the four language domains—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—while integrating cultural context. I regularly interpret, translate, and revise Spanish materials to support students and families and to prepare learners for advanced study.
