I am an experienced language teacher as well as a seamstress specializing in small batch production and soft goods manufacturing. Some of my specializations include knit garment construction (lingerie and loungewear) and free motion satin stitch embroidery. As a textile artist, I seek to use refurbished tools and recycled materials wherever possible. As a teacher, I encourage my students to advocate for themselves and discover the ways in which they learn best. I have extensive experience designing visually rich curricula and creating illustrations as memory aides for students learning second languages.
