BC TEAL 2025 Annual Conference

BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.

Please note that the Friday evening event, the TEAL Charitable Foundation Awards & Fundraiser, requires an additional ticket purchase. Please register here to secure your spot and join us in celebrating the awardees while fundraising for a better cause in TEAL.

Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.

About me

With my team at MOSAIC engage, I run programs that support newcomers to BC with affordable and accessible English language training.

Our programs are open to all, regardless of status, and we welcome hundreds of new immigrants each year into our community-based English classes. I am proud to be leading an exceptional team of instructors and support staff who are dedicated to serving newcomer communities and empowering our students to achieve their goals.

In addition, I collaborate with organizations around Metro Vancouver to create and deliver customized English language training programs for their employees.

I am also a passionate ESL educator with more than a decade of experience teaching adults, specializing in test preparation, academic English, and professional writing.
