In a previous teaching job, I met a lot of students from abroad
who needed help using English. They inspired me to get my
ESL teaching certification.

Since 2002.
Have you taught in foreign countries? How long? Which

Not yet, but Mexico is on the agenda! And Japan / Korea too.
What was your major in university or college?
Education (Bachelor’s Degree) with a Science minor.
What do you like best about teaching?
Meeting people from all over the world! And learning some
common phrases in different languages. The exposure to different
cultures is awesome and helping students learn is very rewarding
for me.
What is your favourite topic to discuss with students
in your class?
Anything goes but I love talking about food.
What is your hobby?
Shopping, traveling, eating, going to the beach, baking, listening
to music.
What advice do you have for new students?
When you are learning English, my advice is use it or lose
it! And live it up! Study outside the classroom too. Woo hoo!
