I began teaching EFL in Costa Rica after graduating from UW-Eau Claire. I then coordinated an ESL/ELL K-12 program in central Wisconsin for four great years. Now, I'm working in a district where my focus will be integrating the SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) model in a co-teaching context. Therefore, I will be creating a tremendous amount of culturally responsive and visually enhanced materials in throughout the years to come.
