Hello and Welcome!

This teaching portfolio will demonstrate how I have incorporated interdisciplinary practices in my literacy courses to accommodate my linguistically diverse and multicultural student population demographics. Further this professional portfolio houses critical ideas and teachings that have informed my practices-practices that I revise and modify constantly. 

Informed by my background in Anthropology, TESOL and Teaching College Composition & Rhetoric, I have been privileged to witness students from varied life experiences, and developmental stages, learn to read and write for different personal and academic purposes. 

As you will see in this portfolio, together my students and I decode texts, produce multimodal texts, and discuss what it means to be multilingual and multicultural. Here is where you will find implications about how I engage students with meaningful texts and topics that support students' multilingual literacy needs and multicultural identities. 

Consider this website my teaching praxis - a modality to hold myself accountable for my teaching methods and to inspire my viewers to think critically about language and communication- and to question the modalities and mainstream entities that construct 'knowledge' and 'truth'.
