I have a master’s degree and over eight years of experience in English language instruction, both in classrooms and online, working with students of all ages and levels. Professionally, I’ve held roles as a tour director and trip leader with organizations like GoES Travel and Putney Student Travel, where I designed immersive itineraries, led groups through cultural experiences, and ensured smooth logistics for international travel. I’ve also worked extensively in educational programs with the Spanish Ministry of Education through the BEDA program, leading initiatives like the Model UN and supporting language learning in schools. What makes me stand out is the combination of education and travel expertise. I understand how to create experiences that are both enriching and engaging, whether that’s helping students learn or guiding travelers through new cultures. I’m organized, adaptable, and passionate about connecting with people and creating meaningful experiences.
