What I'm looking for

I seek instructional or training roles where I can design curriculum, coach teachers, and use communicative, culturally informed methods to improve learner outcomes and support organizational objectives.

I am a bilingual Spanish-English educator and trainer with extensive experience designing curricula and delivering student-centered instruction across K-12, university, corporate, and online settings. I hold an M.A. in Teaching Spanish and an M.A. in Management with a focus on conflict resolution, and I integrate linguistics, pedagogy, and cultural competence into practical coursework and assessments.

Throughout my career I have founded and managed a language institute, developed industry-focused teaching materials (including a construction-industry Spanish manual), published a Business Spanish beginner eBook, and authored a hospitality Spanish capstone unit. I have consistently used formative and summative assessment, ACTFL-aligned communicative approaches, and technology to boost student engagement and measurable performance.

I have tutored over 1,360 hours online with a five-star rating, trained corporate teams in Business English and customer-service communication, and supervised instructors and program operations. I seek roles where I can apply curriculum design, teacher training, and cross-cultural communication to improve learning outcomes and support organizational goals.
