A Fulbright Scholarship enabled her to do  graduate studies in English and American Literature at Stanford University.  She also obtained a Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages from California State University, Los Angeles.

Mabel thanks the institutions and people she has worked with in her professional career: ICANA, ARTESOL Share and PAS, US Embassy.

As a nonnative teacher of English at ICANA, Instituto Cultural Argentino Norteamericano, her  life progressed from being an English learner, to becoming  an English teacher at all levels, Head of Professional Development,  Assistant Director,  and “Rectora” of the Teacher Education College of ICANA, the institution  where she spent 50 years of her professional life.

nd in the Professional Associations in which she has actively participated.  She is a close friend of SHARE’s and  is a founding member of Argentina TESOL, ARTESOL, an affiliate of TESOL international . She was elected to serve on the TESOL International Board of Directors from 2003 to 2006.
