about
I am a teacher and education researcher.
I’ve gained teaching experience in private schools, adult education, and universities. I’ve also participated in research projects focusing on student teachers’ identity development, as well as teachers’ training and perspectives.
Currently, my research explores the forms of violence affecting teachers, how these forms impact them, and the strategies teachers employ to counteract or resist this violence.
Teaching experience
I have taught English as a foreign/second language in private primary and secondary schools.
I also taught in the English Language Teacher Education program at Surcolombiana University in Colombia, where I led courses such as English, Academic Writing, and Globalization.
I currently teach ESL at PACC Adult Education Center. I have also led the Diversity in Childhood and TESL courses at Concordia University.
