About me
I am a dedicated educator with over 25 years of experience teaching ESL and Spanish in public schools across California, New York City, the City of St. Louis, and St. Louis County. My teaching philosophy centers on holistic student development, integrating job readiness, college preparation, English language fluency, and mental health support to empower English Language Learners (ELLs) in secondary education. I am committed to creating inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments that prepare students for academic success and meaningful engagement in their communities and careers.
