Jocelyn Hellested
Travel junkie and education enthusiast, Jocelyn obtained her TEFL certificate online with ITA in the summer of 2019 and hasn't looked back! She found her sweet spot when she began teaching English online and traveling Central and South American in the fall of 2019. This opportunity allowed her to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling the world, improving her Spanish language skills, and building relationships with students across the globe.
