English tutor and head teacher with Eureka Education Services. Successfully designed and implemented action-research projects blending Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy and the art of photography during my M.A. program in Communication and Culture at York University. I am about to complete a 200-hour certification in Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga with the Breathe for Change network. I am also familiar with the Montessori approach after completing an AMI Montessori Orientation course to work with adolescents aged 12-18. I have taught introductory Zen art and haiku courses with children and youth from 3 to 16 years old in schools around U.S.A. and India.
