Tell us a little about you
When people ask me what I do I like to tell them "I teach the world!" because that is exactly what I do. I help multilingual learners from across the globe develop academic English proficiency so they can be successful. My students come from Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, Egypt, Turkey, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Jordan, China, Ukraine, Ecuador, Korea, Philippines, and many other countries. My job is never a dull one. Each day brings a new opportunity to learn about other cultures and watch students become more confident in themselves and their language abilities. This is my 26th year teaching. I taught fifth grade in Richland County, SC for two years before moving to the Lowcountry. I taught third grade and ESOL in Berkeley county for 16 years before moving to Honduras and teaching fifth grade for 5 years. I returned to the Charleston area in 2019 and have been teaching ESOL in Dorchester County for the past 3 years. When I'm not teaching I love spending time with my family, attending church, traveling, cooking and kayaking.
