"I  joined SITES my sophomore year when the program was just a couple of years old and run out of Kim's cramped Peters Hall office. I taught in Prospect Elementary and shamelessly exploited the SITES program to write my capstone project for my independent major, "Language in Theory and Practice." After Oberlin, I taught Spanish in an elementary school in Massachusetts before settling in New York City, where I have been an ESL teacher in public high schools. Planning curriculum and testing materials and activities while still an undergrad was an invaluable experience: I didn't get to teach in a real-life public school classroom again until I was almost done with grad school. I still have my SITES t-shirt!"
