About
With a background in Biblical Studies, I came to Korea in 2016 to get some experience teaching before heading back to complete a PhD. However, I found that I quite enjoyed teaching English and have said maybe just one more year more than once. My current interests are mental health in education, the intersection of special education and TESOL, and the use of L1 and L2 in the classroom.Sessions

Mental health may be a neglected piece of the solution for those who want to embrace the vocation of an educator to both see their students succeed in learning English and have full meaningful lives. This workshop will provide a brief overview of the buzzwords "mental health" and lay out some useful definitions for a more helpful discussion of the topic. Then the workshop will engage in conversations to think about how the three spaces of higher education, Korea, and EFL affect mental health. The presentation will conclude by giving some resources which students and educators might find helpful.
