I was an English literature teacher first and then went into Special Education, enjoying making English accessible to students. Afterwards, I moved to Istanbul, Turkey for 3 years and taught English as a foreign language. There I applied my SPED skills into honing students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I also created a lot of curriculum to supplement our books. I returned to the United States, ready to continue my career in English language education. I got my MA-TESOL certificate at the University of Texas-San Antonio and have recently completed my 11th year teaching EB (ELL) students in the state of Texas.
