I have also worked at a small boutique in Soho called Kiosk, where I categorized and filed invoices, packing slips, and all other paperwork. I very often ran the store solo, when the owner was out of town, handling all customers, inventory, and maintenance duties. Kiosk is not just a store; it is an artistic venture, and I assisted with many aspects of the display of the objects and both the art of selling them literally, and the art of selling objects through story and metaphor. I have edited the Kiosk newspaper and co-written some of the website text.

It was at the American Language Institute where I benefitted from the most concrete observations and experiences of teaching when I served as Maxine's teaching intern in the spring of 2011. I attended every class of her Intensive Course in American English (X30.900) on American culture. I observed the class at first, but in little time Maxine was so kind and generous a mentor as to allow me to co-teach or assist her in most classes. Her example and direction have shaped and guided my still new career.Maxine's American culture class was inspiring for its expert and frequent contextualization. Role play and realia were employed regularly, bringing students closer to the topics at hand. Often times we made site visits, class trips that expertly contextualized the content. Rather than have students merely practice ordering in a restaurant, Maxine held a class in a diner (naturally after ample classroom practice). When preparing the students for a mock trial (a clever way of teaching tag questions), Maxine arranged a tour of the city supreme courthouse and showed clips from "Twelve Angry Men." When I took my first teaching job at a corporate ESL school, I immediately emulated this, taking students to a yoga class to teach commands, and reinforce body-part vocabulary. After a trip to the high line, a stationery store, and a cafe, my students were much more eager to study the dry, corporate lessons my school had plotted out.
