Completed a continuing education Student Advising and Support Certificate.

Took a professional leave of absence from Austin ISD to experience cultural and language immersion in Guanajuato, México through the Spanish for Foreigners program at the University of Guanajuato. My goals were to improve my Spanish from an intermediate to advanced level and to develop an understanding of the experience of learning a second language in a new country and culture.

While working at the International High School, my primary responsibility was to teach and mentor English literature through speaking, listening, reading and writing to newcomer immigrants and refugees, 100% of which were English Language Learners and 99% percent socio-economically disadvantaged, through a sheltered instruction model. A crucial part of my job was also to acculturate students to the American school system by providing a nurturing classroom environment where students felt safe, comfortable and respected.

During my time at IHS I was honoured to be a campus leader as part of the West Ed Quality Teaching for English Learner's leadership team for 2 years, serving as co-chair of an Advisory committee in collaboration with Educators with Social Responsibility (now Engaging Schools) leading the effort to become the first school in the district designated as a No Place for Hate campus by the Anti-Defamation League and as Social-Emotional Learning Facilitator for 2 years. I mentored new teachers for three years, directed our campus talent show to highlight students' and teachers' interests and cultures and played the role of campus's unofficial photographer and documentarian and coached basketball, soccer and track in various years.
