  I have been a teacher for seventeen years. I have taught primarily as an English as a Second Language teacher, but also have a background in teaching Spanish, Reading, and American History. I spent seven years as an ESL professor at the University of Tennessee teaching English to international students in the Tennessee Intensive English Program. My Masters Degree is in Intercultural Studies, and my Bachelors Degree is in Elementary Education and ESL with a minor in Spanish. In addition to teaching full-time, I have been working eighteen years part-time as both a representative and coordinator for a non-profit goverment group called World Heritage Exchange Organization, which is an international exchange student organization that seeks out, recruits, screens, and monitors host families in the United States for international students from all over the world.
