Bridgeport Elementary School

ELL Teacher

Hello, students and families!  I am excited to be starting my first year at Bridgeport Elementary as the new ELL Teacher.  I was first inspired by younger students to teach English, and I have since gained exerience with high school and middle school learners.  I am thrilled to be returning to the classroom with younger students this year!  My love of languages and travel inspires me to learn about my students and their cultures.  I enjoy teaching English with the use of music and games, and I look forward to a year of fun and learning at Bridgeport!

On a personal note, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our son, Nathan.  He keeps us laughing and smiling - and running after him - all the time!  Nathan enjoys playing with our bunny, Loops.  I also enjoy working with adults at La Salle University, where I teach English to Spanish speakers in the BUSCA program.

Please feel free to reach out to me via email, which I check at the end of each school day.  I will respond as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.  I am happy to discuss any concerns or questions.
