My 20+ years of teaching experience have occurred across multiple contexts and settings of education:

•  K-12 schools and summer programs

• community nonprofits

• literacy organizations

• adult ESL/basic literacy programs

• adult & community education

• community colleges

• universities

• medical and business schools

• language teacher education programs

• doctoral and writing programs

• language centers​​

 

In these spaces, I seek to foster:​

• critical language awareness

• intercultural communicative competence

• reflexivity

• critical reflection

• social responsibility and citizenry

• development of languages and literacies for social justice

 

As an educational consultant, I design and offer workshops for families, as well as courses and professional development opportunities for teachers and researchers. While I am open to occasional travel, I typically host events virtually or locally in St. Louis, Missouri.
