CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced bilingual educator and instructional designer with a Master of Educational Technology and a strong track record delivering online and face-to-face language instruction across Canada and Mexico. I have developed online course content and storyboards for high-school and university language programs, facilitated distance learning, and taught linguistics, methodology and cultural studies while also providing translation services for official documents.
I combine hands-on teaching with instructional design expertise, extensive use of e-learning platforms (Moodle, Google Classroom, Blackboard), and ongoing training in data tools (SQL, PowerBI, Tableau, Google Looker) to improve learning outcomes and course effectiveness. I am committed to student-centered pedagogy, clear communication in English, Spanish and French, and applying technology thoughtfully to support language acquisition.
