After teaching ESL in Africa for several years, completing an MA program in Atlanta and participating in a graduate exchange in Canada, I now teach at the English Language Institute on the majestic campus of the University of Alabama. Benefiting from a dedicated faculty who have years of teaching experience in many parts of the world, the program offers an intensive curriculum to prepare international students for academic English and cross-cultural awareness. To learn more about how I've become involved in the fields of applied linguistics and adult ESL, both in and out of the classroom, I encourage you to visit Curriculum vitae and Professional development.
