About Me

I am currently a graduate student at Minnesota State University in Mankato, MN, working on my MA TESL. I also teach an ESL composition class for MSU and work in special education at Mankato East High School. My previous teaching experiences include TESOL in Mali, Africa and TESOL in Taipei, Taiwan. I have undergraduate degrees in Cross-Cultural Studies, with a minor in TESOL, and Automotive Service Technology. I am also very involved in my church here in Mankato and try to make as much time as possible for family in the area. That’s me in a nut shell

How is it that people who should be banned from the workforce keep getting jobs?
