Center Director
I am from New York City, but came to the Boston area to attend university. I have spent many years living and working overseas, and have taught in South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey. I was a teacher at ELS-Riverdale and Boston-Newton before becoming Housing Coordinator and now, Center Director. I enjoy meeting and helping students from all over the world. I am very pleased to work in a warm, friendly environment with my wonderful staff.
Academic Director
I have been associated with ELS/Boston since 1988. I first started teaching in the Special Programs Division and then moved into the regular program where I remained as an instructor for 20 years. I have been the Academic Director for our Newton center since 2007. My previous ESL experience came from having lived and taught in corporate programs and private institutions in Brazil.
International Student Advisor
I was born in Australia, grew up in Japan, finished High School and University in the USA and am fluent in English and Japanese. I received an internship at the National Academy of Science and spent a year living in Beijing, China. I enjoy meeting students from all over the world and learning about different cultures. I try to find interesting ways to bring students together, have fun, and learn to communicate. My door is always open!
Registrar
I arrived in the United States in 1996 from Cuba and started working as the Registrar at ELS in Boston in August 2001. In my country of birth I had accumulated 15 years working in planning, budget control and accounting. I attended the University of Havana for two years pursuing a degree in accounting and more recently 2 semesters at the Rhode Island College in the same major. Although not an educator, I enjoy being part of our students ELS experiences.
Homestay Coordinator
I’m originally from Medellin, Colombia. I studied International business and taught Business English during my university years. I am the Homestay Coordinator and I look forward to providing students with the best “living the American lifestyle” experience by matching them with wonderful hosts during their studies at ELS-Boston. I enjoy having friends all over the world and in my spare time I like to play Ultimate Frisbee.
