After almost a decade teaching English in the U.S. and Bulgaria, Betsy Potash started a website and podcast for creative English teachers. Now she spends her time creating and sharing innovative teaching strategies like escape rooms, book tastings, one-pagers, sketchnotes, hyperdocs, and more. When she's not camped out at the coffee shop with her computer, you'll find her rollerblading, baking desserts that would make the Hogwarts house elves proud, or building incredibly complex Lego ships with her kids.
