I entered university pursuing a science degree, and not really sure about where it would take me. However, I quickly realized that my passion and interests were not for the sciences, but rather languages. All throughout high school, I took language courses: French, Spanish and Italian. Once removed from them, I missed learning languages, and decided that I would shift gears towards Spanish &#8211; eventually earning an Honours BA in Spanish Language and Literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, I continued on to teacher\u2019s college, becoming a qualified secondary Spanish and history teacher. During one of my placements, I was at a school with a large ESL (English as a Second Language) population. Loving languages, ESL programming piqued my interests, and would continue to be an interest as I got started in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the years, I have taught Spanish and ESL, as well as ELD (English Literacy Development &#8211; ESL for students that do not have age-appropriate literacy in their first language), and language acquisition has always remained an area of interest and passion in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first drank the Google Kool-Aid in 2013-2014 and I haven&#8217;t looked back since! I love learning new technology that can help both staff and students succeed. I am a Google Certified Educator, level 1 and level 2 and I&#8217;m obsessed with using technology to help support language acquisition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column11239_91d9e8-f7
