Episode Description: We interview 8th grade Spanish teacher, Alyssa Katz, from Lawrence High School, in Lawrenceville, NJ, about her fifteen-year career in education, her lessons and goals for composing language-learning curriculum, and the challenges of language instruction pre- and post-pandemic.

We revisit her memories of traveling abroad to Honduras, in her role as Chapter Advisor and the High School Chapter Outreach Coordinator, for OneThousandSchools.com (formerly Students Helping Honduras).

This creative, fun-loving educator loves monkeys, karaoke, and Enrique Iglesias (not necessarily in that order; Enrique is #1. Always and forever).

We discuss creative thinking (and problem-solving) as a through line in her career spanning areas of art, design, marketing, and brand-building. Caitlyn shares her creative, spontaneous process behind collaging sci-fi to supernatural motifs, storytelling with accessible narratives, and her passion for self-expression, contemporizing nostalgic TV, film, music, and her Wonder Woman-inspired pickup truck.
