Member-at-large: Treela McKamey

With a background in science, Treela spent two years teaching physics (in English) in East Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer. Through this experience, she came to understand the critical need for better English language instruction in various parts of the world. Upon returning to the U.S. in 2001, she set out in a new direction toward becoming a certified ESL instructor. In 2005, she graduated from the University of Hawaii with a Master's Degree in Second Language Studies. Throughout the two and half years of graduate studies, she taught ESL in an intensive English Language Program at the university, and worked especially on curriculum design. Since graduating, Treela has been working in community colleges in Washington (Shoreline, Edmonds) with both international and immigrant populations. In 2007, she took a 10-month sabbatical to work as an EFL teacher and teacher trainer at a pedagogical university in Venezuela through the English Language Fellow Program.
