My international background in video and TV reporting allows me a range of journalistic and communications skills, including the ability to write copy and create content in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese.Through my years working in multilingual education, I have developed original curricula across subjects - STEM, literacy, journalism and multimedia - for students in Spanish, English, and Mandarin Chinese as well as supports for English Language Learners and varying levels of literacy. I have designed curriculum content for school-age students as well as young adults and older adults.
