years of professional experience
My career has been guided by one purpose: creating meaningful learning experiences that help students and teachers grow. Over the past 29 years, I have taught in K–12 schools, higher education, and adult education in Brazil and Canada. I have designed university curricula, prepared future educators, developed literacy initiatives, and worked with learners from diverse cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds. My teaching connects theory with authentic practice through inclusive, student-centred learning.
