What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural diversity and fosters student engagement through innovative teaching methods.

I am a passionate ESL teacher and curriculum developer with a strong commitment to enhancing the learning experience for adult learners, particularly immigrants and refugees. My recent role at the Free Library of Philadelphia allowed me to design and deliver engaging ESL lessons that resulted in a remarkable 90% increase in student confidence. I believe in the power of culturally immersive and student-centered teaching approaches to foster integration and communication skills.

My background includes a Master of Science in Education from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida. I have also gained valuable experience as a New Media Specialist, where I successfully initiated a social media strategy that significantly increased engagement and audience interaction. My diverse experiences in various educational settings have equipped me with the skills to assess student needs and provide tailored support, ensuring effective learning outcomes.
