Welcome!

I am an educator committed to advancing literacy and language education as tools for justice, equity, and community empowerment. My work bridges literacy development, sociolinguistics, and community-centered learning practices to create environments where learners can fully access and express knowledge.

I hold a PhD in Education, where my research explored how dialogue, storytelling, and narrative practices can foster engagement, critical thinking, and social impact in learning communities. I design curricula and programs that integrate reflective practice, culturally responsive pedagogy, and narrative-based learning to support literacy, communication, and empowerment. My approach integrates research, curriculum design, and trauma-informed pedagogy to create learning environments rooted in dignity and agency.

Areas of focus:
• Literacy Development & Language Education
• Applied Linguistics & TESOL
• Storytelling & Dialogue-Based Learning
• Instructional & Curriculum Design
• Justice-Oriented Education & Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
