PERSONAL

Learning to speak conversational Spanish w hile living abroad helped me

i nternalize the language learning process more fully. Watching my two youngest

siblings, recently adopted from Ethiopia, learn English has fur thered my

u nderstanding of the social/emotional experiences of ELLs . Additionally, I continue

to edit college papers for friends who are adult ELLs, challenging me to keep up with

my knowledge of advanced grammar and formatting rules.
