"I am passionate about English Language Learning, technology, and facilitating adult learning. Prior to joining Ellevation, I worked as a middle school science educator to ELL students and was an instructional coach for Miami-Dade science teachers."
- Catalina, M. Ed., Training Solutions Manager, Florida
"As a former district administrator responsible for an ELL program, I know the hard work that teachers put in and the complexity of keeping all of the important compliance aspects in place. I love that Ellevation allows me to support both administrators and teachers in a meaningful way that truly makes a difference in the lives of students. I can honestly say we work hard every day to make sure that no matter where an ELL lives, they are able excel at a level that allows them to not only chase, but capture their dreams."

"As a former ELL teacher and administrator, I believe that no matter what language students speak, they are entitled to equal resources for academic success. Ellevation plays a key role by providing data and instructional strategies for ELLs and educators that support them."
- Heather, M. Ed., Training Solutions Manager, Texas
"In my time at Ellevation, I commonly find myself thinking about one student who entered my classroom having just moved from Mexico and comfortable with only a few English words. She was reserved, determined and filled with laughter. I can't help but think about the opportunities I missed to integrate a more targeted focus on language acquisition into my math and science lessons to further enable her progress and growth. I'm passionate about working at Ellevation because of the resources it provides administrators and classroom teachers to ensure that no English Learner falls through the cracks and every student receives the support she deserves."
- Maggie, M. Ed., Director of Partner Support, Massachusetts
