Résumé/CV

Biography

I became interested in second language learning during the summers of 1999 and 2000, while working as a volunteer with post-disaster relief efforts in Nicaragua. My team and I developed and delivered literacy projects in elementary Spanish for orphaned children in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. This experience prompted me to begin graduate studies towards a Masters degree in Language Education and teacher certification for English as a Second Language.

Some of my favorite teaching and learning moments occurred during the nearly ten years I spent with middle school English language learners in MSD Lawrence Township in Indianapolis, Indiana. Much of the time, I was the one who was being taught. My students brought worldliness, willingness, and curiosity to our classroom community. Yet, it was evident that structural systems of bias were at play, challenging their academic, cultural, linguistic, and social development. I returned to graduate school to complete a doctorate in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education to better understand how to work productively within the parameters of systemic bias while honoring the rich knowledge and experiences that English language learners bring with them.
