Bio

I am a Professor in the Division of Education at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, New York, where I teach doctoral courses related to diversity, social justice and equity.

Before entering the field of teacher education, I was an English-as-a-foreign-language teacher in Hungary, an English-as-a-second-language teacher in New York City, and taught Hungarian at New York University. As a Fulbright Scholar, I lectured in Iceland and I have been presenting at conferences across the United States, Canada, China, Great Britain, Denmark, Sweden, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates.

I frequently offer virtual and on-site professional learning opportunities primarily focusing on effective differentiated strategies and collaborative practices for ELD/ELL specialists and general education teachers. My recent articles and ongoing research are focused on coteaching, teacher collaboration, and English language and literacy strategies.
