About me

"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire." >--William Butler Yeats

My love affair with education began earlier than most; in the womb. Throughout my life my mother has jokingly attributed my affinity for scholastics, specifically in the area of linguistics, to her enrollment in a graduate linguistics course for her Masters of Education while I was in utero. With a mother, father and sister in the education industry, perhaps you could truly say my passion for teaching is in the blood. Though I have followed in the footsteps of my family, I have found my own unique teaching niche: teaching English as a Second Language to adult learners. Five years of teaching in the TESOL industry across two continents has only cemented my love for the industry. I have taught classes to adult learners from Kazakhstan to Korea and am currently teaching at the English Language Academy at the University of San Diego. ~Namaste (The teacher in me honors and reflects the teacher in you)
