About Me

Who am I?

​My journey in education over the past 20+ years has been influenced by the remarkable people I've encountered from diverse backgrounds and nationalities.  

 

Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States, I pursued my undergraduate degrees in Spanish and secondary education, followed by a Master’s in ESOL, all at American University in Washington, DC.

 

I have lived and worked in the United States and South Korea, but Buenos Aires, Argentina has been my home since 2009. I'm also a mom to two beautiful neurodivergent sons, a wife, a cooking aficionado, a bookworm, and above all, a lifelong learner.

My philosophy of education partially has to do with the three “Rs”- that is, if the information being presented is RIGOROUS and challenging to the student, REAL-WORLD related, and personally RELEVANT to the student’s interests, it will ultimately be more valuable and stay with the student long-term. This is what I strive for each of my lessons to be like.

​

Just as each student is different in their motivations for learning English, they are equally distinct in their learning objectives, strengths, and interests. Therefore, I do not implement a single style or methodology when I teach; my goal is to best fit the needs of my students.
