Education & Work

Back in 2014, I received my CELTA certification from International House in Madrid, Spain.  A few years later, I completed a Master's is TEFL from the State University of New York at City College while working as an English as a Foreign Language teacher in Brooklyn.  

Way back in the 1990s, I earned a PhD in Psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

Before moving to New York, I grew up in the Phoenix, Arizona area where I eventually earned a BA in Psychology from Northern Arizona University.

I have worked in education since 1993, first as a psychology tutor and lecturer.  But once I moved to Medellin, Colombia in 2000, I have worked almost exclusively in teaching English as a Foreign, Second or Other Language as an administrator, curriculum developer, teacher trainer and teacher.  I have worked with all levels and all age groups in both classroom and virtual settings in different parts of the world.

My Interests

I am very interested in all things related to culture, especially music, food, politics, societal trends, current events, human rights (that is, ethnic and racial groups, women, LGBTQIA+communities, religions and all other minority groups.).  I am fascinated by traveling and though I have visited and even lived in a few, I have never been to an Asian country, unless you count Turkiye.   I am obsessed with music and write about it extensively.
