I had my first taste of teaching English as a second language in college when I went to Russia and taught young children, using language-based activities. Since then, I have been involved in community ESL and IEP instruction. I received my M.A. in TESOL from Brigham Young University and am currently teaching full-time in the English Language Program at Purdue University Calumet. My professional interests include:

  • Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL)
  • Academic Listening
  • Pronunciation
  • Web-based Media
  • Tutoring and mentoring
  • Web design

I love working with computers, developing websites for classes and testing, and incorporating technology-based activities. For details, see my Technology in the Classroom and MA Project page. Also, check out my favorite listening websites.
