Hello!

I was born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. I have been an educator in the Ann Arbor area since 2000. That is when I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in English and Drama and teaching certification for English and Spanish. Later, I obtained a Master’s Degree in school counseling from Eastern Michigan University. In the 22 years that followed, I taught English, Spanish, and spent ten years as a high school counselor in Ann Arbor. In September of 2020, I went 100% online and became an ESL teacher. I love it!

I have always loved reading and writing. I’ve published poems, plays, and a 300 page novel! I also love talking to people from other countries. I’ve been to 16 countries myself! I have used my experience and enthusiasm to help English-language learners love the language like I do.

Have you been on any amazing vacations? I would love to talk to you about them. I can also help you prepare for IELTS testing. I love shows like Squid Game, movies by Marvel, and all types of books, do you? Or we could talk about where you live, or your cute pets. I have a dog named Pomzilla! You can talk to him too! Bye, friends!
