A Lifetime of Communication Excellence
My journey to becoming an English language educator has been shaped by a wealth of diverse professional experiences that uniquely qualify me to help you master English:
After serving nearly eight years in the military, I built an extensive career spanning multiple high-stakes communication environments: six years as a NASA contractor tracking satellites, three years on Navy anti-submarine warfare programs, and extensive international experience, living outside the US for nine of twelve years beginning in 1970.
This global perspective profoundly influences my teaching approach. Having experienced firsthand the challenges and rewards of cross-cultural communication, I understand exactly what it takes to bridge language barriers effectively.

Finding My True Calling in Language Education
While my technical career was rewarding, it was my transition to English language education that proved most fulfilling. For 15 years, I taught English as a Second Language in traditional classrooms, followed by 5 years of pioneering online instruction. This experience—often teaching up to 15 hours daily—deepened my understanding of the adult language learning process.
My dedication to education led to executive director and vice-president roles in educational institutions, where I specialized in curriculum development across technical and non-technical subjects. This expertise allows me to create truly personalized learning experiences for each student.
Award-Winning Communication Skills
In 1994, I founded a marketing and communication agency that quickly earned recognition, winning the Estrella Award as Small Business of the Year from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. I personally received the Aurora Gold Award for Excellence in Film and Video Industries for a television commercial I produced. These accolades reflect my ability to communicate effectively across media—skills I now dedicate to helping my students achieve English fluency.
The Personal Touch in Language Acquisition
Throughout my professional journey, one thing became clear: powerful communication transforms lives. My photography career of over 25 years taught me the importance of capturing authentic moments and connecting with people from all walks of life—skills that translate perfectly to personalized language instruction.
Today, I channel my passion for communication, global experience, and educational expertise into helping motivated students master English in a private, one-on-one online setting. I work with each student individually, tailoring my approach to their specific needs, goals, and learning style.
