ESL Teacher

Education

I am pleased to introduce myself as a new member of Madison City Middle School. I currently serve as a collaborative ELL teacher at Journey & Discovery Middle School. Originally from New York, I moved to Puerto Rico, where I earned my degree in English as a Second Language from Interamericana University in Cupey PR. After several years in ELL instruction, I became a Dyslexia Therapist with June Shelton and subsequently earned my Master's in Teaching from Dallas Baptist University.

As someone who has personally experienced the journey of learning a new language, I find great fulfillment in supporting students as they explore and uncover their unique talents. Witnessing their growth and development is one of the most rewarding aspects of my professional career.

Biography

 I have proudly called Madison, Alabama, home for over 14 years. I am married to my high school sweetheart, who works as a Chief Engineer at Redstone Arsenal. Together, we have two sons who progressed through Madison City Schools, graduating from Bob Jones High School. Our eldest is now a Mechanical Engineer at Boeing, while our youngest is pursuing a degree in Systems Engineering.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and traveling with family and friends.
