Welcome to ESL (English as a Second Language) at Oakley Elementary! 

Bienvenidos   Добро пожаловать  Bine ati venit  Ласкаво просимо  مرحباً

• I have been teaching ESL at Oakley Elementary since 2023. 

• I am proud to say I grew up in Asheville, and attended Asheville City Schools. 

• I graduated from UNC-Asheville with a Bachelor's degree, and Western Carolina University's Graduate school with a Master's in Teaching and a Certification in K-12 ESL.

• I taught English as a Foreign language at all grade levels in three countries for over 5 years before coming to Buncombe County Schools in 2020. My passion is teaching elementary age MLs (Multilingual Learners)! 

• • My goal for the ESL program is to help Multilingual Learners acquire the academic language skills they need to be successful while creating an inclusive and culturally responsive classroom and school community.
