About the store
I taught middle and elementary school for 8 years with the Howard County Public School System in Maryland. In 2002, I joined the Peace Corps as a teacher trainer to work at a teachers’ college in Mozambique where I developed and taught their English Teacher Preparation Program. After becoming fluent in Portuguese, I wanted a chance to expand that to Spanish, so I went to Bolivia where I learned Spanish and taught first and sixth grade at a private American-International school. I was also their ESL resource teacher and it was during these years abroad that I developed many of my ESL lessons, curriculum, and activities. A few years later, I accepted a job as a bilingual counselor in a Texas public school system, where I currently work. Our population is predominately Hispanic, with a large percentage of students brand new to the USA-- it was in this capacity that I saw a great need for the Culture Explorers group sessions guides and for Spanish language counseling materials. I work with a very high-need population in terms of counseling issues, so I’ve developed many of my counseling sessions practices in Texas as well.
