I strive to create a strong sense of belonging in my classroom by assuring English Language Learners and their families that I view their native language as an asset, not a barrier. I love learning new words and phrases from the native language of my English Language Learners. I speak English and Spanish. I love teaching ESL, running, and hiking.
