More than 25 years of learning, teaching, and leading
My career has taken me from public schools in the United States to international schools in Singapore and Israel, where I've taught Spanish, coached educators, led departments and professional learning communities, coordinated world language programs, and partnered with school leaders.
I'm also a lifelong language learner. Today I'm studying Dutch, after previously studying Mandarin and Hebrew. Staying in the learner's seat reminds me what it feels like to take risks, make mistakes, and celebrate progress.
my philosophy
Excellent curriculum matters. So does excellent teaching. But thriving language programs require more: informed school leaders, supported educators, engaged families, and students who understand that language learning is a journey.
Successful language programs are built through partnership.
When students, educators, school leaders, and families understand their roles in the language-learning journey, everyone is better positioned to thrive.
services
From basic language for travel to students studying Spanish in school, I can help you reach your Spanish-speaking goals. I work with learners from elementary-aged to retired adults (and everywhere in between).
For experienced educators looking to refine their practice to newer educators seeking guidance in their language-teaching journey, I provide coaching sessions tailored to your individual goals.
I provide guidance for schools with existing language programs through on-site visits, teacher observations, and curriculum alignment education. I work with school leaders to increase their knowledge of successful language programming.
I guide families with children enrolled in language immersion programs, families striving to maintain more than one language, and homeschooling families wishing to add language education to their curriculum.
