English as a Second Language

College and Career readiness

English as a Second Language (ESL) is for non-native English speakers wanting help understanding, speaking, reading, and writing the English language. Students become more integrated into society by learning about American culture, customs and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.  We offer non-credit classes in the morning and evening. Our program also offers a Pre-Citizenship course in the Spring to assist students with the Citizenship test.

Non-Credit ESL Class Monday - Thursday 9:00AM to 12:00PM
OR
Tuesday & Thursday evening from 6:30PM to 8:30PM

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Education in 2006 at The University of Carabobo, Venezuela. I worked as an ESL teacher for several years, among other bilingual positions. I am currently working as an ESL Adjunct Instructor in College and Career Readiness. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do what I love and for being part of such an amazing and supportive team. I have a true passion for working with adult learners because helping each person to progress in English skills is a challenge that I am honored to accept daily. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, cooking, outdoor activities, and especially spending quality time with family.

I began working in the College & Career Readiness lab in August of 2021, and I have taught the evening ESL classes for 3 years at Western Wyoming Community College. I enjoyed teaching 4th graders in Fountain, Colorado for 3 years and then Middle School Math on the Fort Carson Army base for 6 years, but after moving to Rock Springs and a stint doing social work for several years, I find it is great to be teaching adults now too. I have always believed that both teaching and learning should be fun, and I try to make that happen – for my students and for me! These days, I love hanging out with the grand kids, traveling the world (pre-Covid), reading horror stories, skiing in Pinedale with my wife, and the Broncos… sigh!
