Dani Hersey holds a TEFL certificate and is currently pursuing a Master of Education in TESOL, ESL, and Bilingual Education from Lesley University. She is an experienced teacher of English to speakers of other languages, with a demonstrated history of writing, editing, and teacher training. In addition to teaching Level 2: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking & Grammar at FSU Community English Language Program, Dani is also an educational materials writer based in both Massachusetts and São Paulo, Brazil. Her background in art regularly intersects with her love for language, and she is passionate about active methodologies, STEAM, and maker-centered learning. She has written several course books, including From Dream to Reality and Learning to Be Enterprising (Macmillan Brasil), which encourage youth to discover their passions, prototype ideas, and step into entrepreneurship while developing their voice as English speakers in the global community. When she isn’t writing, studying, or making things, Dani can be found geeking out to sci-fi or Broadway musicals, hiking, or doing yoga with her cats, Spock and Persephone.
