1. Owner, Tcb Consultants Empowering Educators with Equity, Literacy & Genai Tools for Mls

   Center for Applied Linguistics

   Jan 2022 — Present · Madison, OH, US

   As the Owner and ML Professional Development Consultant at TCB Consultants, LLC, I empower educators by equipping them with innovative tools and strategies that promote equity and literacy for Multilingual Learners (MLs). Through tailored professional development, I support educators from PreK to Adult in creating inclusive, culturally responsive classrooms that integrate the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for enhanced learning experiences.With a deep commitment to educational excellence, I help educators bridge the gap between traditional teaching methods and cutting-edge technology to meet the unique needs of ML students. Whether through GenAI tools, literacy development strategies, or equity-focused practices, my goal is to ensure that every educator feels empowered and confident in supporting linguistically diverse learners.Let’s make learning accessible, equitable, and transformative for every student—because when educators have the right tools, there’s no limit to the success of our multilingual learners.
