Once had what my manager called a "mutiny" when I was called to jury duty and my students had a week-long substitute. I created such fidelity to my teaching method by giving my students quality, evidence-based, and innovative instruction using the latest research in second language acquisition. Also collaborated with my colleagues to create a standardized CEFR-based curriculum for your English as a Second Language department.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

I was a go-to reporter for Gatehouse Media in the Boston neighborhoods of Roslindale and West Roxbury covering controversial stories such as the West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline and a (surprisingly controversial) proposal for a dog park in southwest Boston. Enterprise reporting was the name of the game as I developed sources and scoured the neighborhoods for engaging stories documenting important changes in the community. Deadline-driven reporting, having an ear for what matters, and clear and pithy writing were all in my wheelhouse in this position.

Tailored ESL instruction to corporate clients by focusing on the communicative needs of their workforce.

Wareham, Massachusetts, United States

Community journalism at its best. My editor and I were a two-person team covering everything and anything Wareham: politics, sports, crime, events, town meeting - you name it. Depending on the scenario, a collaborative or a divide and conquer approach enabled us to cover all the news fit to print in our small town of ~20,000 population. Don't let the size deceive you, however. Selectmen meeting shouting matches and a town employee being arrested for assault and battery meant Wareham news could hang with any city news cycle. See the drama featured in some of the news stories below (except, for sake of decorum, the last one).
