Teaching

I love teaching languages and linguistics. At the college level, I’ve had the opportunity to teach:

As a primary instructor:

LING 133: Language, Gender and Sexuality

SPAN 1: Elementary Spanish

As a teaching assistant:

LING 20: Introduction to Linguistics

LING 50: Language and Power

LING 187: Language, Power, and Learning

LING 70: Language and Society

I’ve also taught sociolinguistics to youth in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties through the outreach program SKILLS.

Before grad school, I also taught in a variety of contexts, including:

As a TESOL volunteer instructor for the Portland Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization.

As a first grade teacher at Community School 66 from 2008-2010.

As an science teacher for grades 3-6 in Nicaragua from 2010-2012 (as a Peace Corps Environmental Education volunteer).

As a methodology instructor at the José Martí teacher preparatory college in Nicaragua in 2013 (also as a Peace Corps volunteer).
