About
With decades of experience in multilingual education, I specialize in designing and leading ESL and English language development programs that move students toward full proficiency. My work focuses on empowering both learners and educators—developing curriculum that integrates participation strategies, vocabulary acquisition, and verbal fluency across all levels. From intake and placement to instructional coaching and professional development, I’ve built systems that help teachers meet the diverse needs of multilingual students with clarity and confidence. Grounded in a global perspective shaped by international travel and cross-cultural study, I bring a deep understanding of language acquisition, equity, and program innovation to every learning community I serve.
