    Hey! I'm at a conference | Going Deeper with Picture Talk

    Happy New Year! After a bit of a hiatus, I am so glad to be back speaking with ya'll. In this episode, I talk about a session I attended at the 2025 ACTFL Conference. The session was co-led by Dr. Trina Montano and Dr. LJ Randolph! The title was Liberation, Joy, and Creative Resistance in the Language Classroom. Their session centers on going "deeper" with picture talk, and what that can look like in your classroom. Connect with me!

    Seasons. Shifts. Changes. Part II

    This is the reason as to why I started this podcast. In this episode, I share what I’ve been experiencing mentally and emotionally, in transitioning from one school community to another. This is often not talked about in our world language community, yet this is something that we do need to talk about. Connect with me below!

    Seasons. Shifts. Changes. Part I

    In this episode, I talk about my beginnings of transitioning from a school community to another. This is often not talked about, and the purpose is to bring the light the importance of giving yourself grace to grieve while transitioning to another place. If you are in this situation and/or have experienced it, I hope this brings you encouragement! Connect with me!
