I moved to Brasil in September of 2013 to be with my partner. After being in Uberlandia for one month, I traveled to Sao Paulo to become an English Teacher. I am done with the course, and I am back in Uberlandia. In Sao Paulo, the course I took was a TESOL Certificate course. TESOL stands for "Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages." This is an internationally recognized certificate for teaching English. Before moving to Brasil, I worked for the California State Senate for over three years. I worked for California State Senator Elaine Alquist, then I worked for the Senate Health Committee, and later I took a position with Senator Ricardo Lara. I left this job to move to Uberlandia, Brasil for personal and professional endeavors. With my TESOL certificate, I am now providing private English lessons in Uberlandia--to University students and business professionals! I am also seeking a teaching position with an English school in Uberlandia. I am currently working on improving my Portuguese. I am also interested in learning more about the culture in Brasil. Other areas of work interest for me are Politics, Government Relations, Trade and Investment, English Business Services, and Translation and Localization Services. I look forward to hearing from you!
