Throughout my career, I have developed and taught beginner and intermediate English classes at Wichita State University, incorporating cultural aspects to ensure a contextualized language approach. My experience includes planning lesson plans based on scaffolding and pedagogical techniques, as well as leading engaging Spanish classes that inspire students to learn. I am tech-savvy and dedicated to integrating technology into my teaching to enhance the learning experience.
