I have had quite a history here at ELS Language Centers. Upon my graduation from the University of Toledo with a Bachelor’s in French, I began working at ELS in Charlotte as a Registrar and an Instructor of ESL. I became passionate about teaching, and decided to return to school to obtain my Master’s in TESL from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. During that time, I taught ESL at various community colleges and universities. After teaching in the States for 7 years, I moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand for one year where I taught at American Pacific International Kindergarten. I returned to the U.S. a year later and began working as Registrar. Shortly thereafter, I was promoted to Academic Director.

I received my Cambridge CELTA in 2005 and taught a year in Prague before coming to ELS where I was originally a teacher. I also teach for the YMCA of Greater Charlotte.
