I received my certification in TESOL in 2016 and my master's degree in English (TESOL concentration) from Indiana University, Purdue University- Indianapolis (IUPUI). Prior to my decision to earn my master's degree, I taught English as a second language within my community to adults for about three years. After receiving my certification, I have continued to teach English as a second language within my community and creating opportunities when I see a need. My experiences showed me that language is a progressive phenomenon that needed to be studied in depth, which lead to my decision on obtaining higher education to better serve the students I will have the pleasure of teaching.
Growing up I have had the opportunity to live and travel to beautiful places in the world. Through all of these experiences with different cultures and language levels, the main concept that all of these students needed to grasp is confidence and a chance to practice. I view learning as a partnership and create lessons that meet the needs/wants of my student. This is what has contributed to the success of all these students and hope that future students view the language learning process in the same way.
