About
I have been blogging for longer than a minute. Writing gives me a place and a space to learn, to reflect, to teach, and to share. I primarily blog about: 1. Teaching and learning, more specifically, foreign language teaching and learning, focusing on Spanish; 2. Beauty of self and home. 3. Self-reflection, and the mind shifts that can emerge from deep, introspective thought. I also pontificate about the state of the world from time to time, mostly racism and social injustice, and how we can fight it.
I am an 18-year career language teacher, having spent all of them at independent schools – four to be exact. I am also a: writer, educator, social activist, tech geek, girly-girl, wannabe Southern cook, information junkie, worry monkey, natural hair advocate, aficionada of beauty products and home furnishings, and, hopefully, a good daughter, sister, friend, colleague, change agent and Christian. I am an advocate for anti-racist/diversity/inclusion education, multilingualism, technology in the classroom, and 21st century skills.
I like and encourage intelligent, informed debate, but do not like incivility and uninformed opinion. So, if you have something to say, please be civil, and intelligent.
