About

Hello! I’m an experienced educator and lifelong learner who loves helping students discover English, literature, and creative writing through engaging, inclusive teaching. I’ve led English departments, supported teacher development, and designed learning experiences that blend traditional instruction with modern tools. I’m passionate about mentorship, creativity, and building supportive classrooms where every learner can thrive.

Currently traveling in Mexico, I’m exploring new ways to combine technology, AI-assisted tutoring, and online learning to reach diverse learners. I value collaboration, curiosity, and clear communication, and I enjoy turning complex ideas into approachable, memorable lessons for all ages.
