My name is Lisa Nicole Tyson, but most people just call me Elle. I am the ePortfolio Support Coordinator with the Center for High Impact Practices at ODU. I have an M.A. in Applied Linguistics from Old Dominion University and a B.A. in Modern Foreign Languages from James Madison University. I am fluent in Italian and French and have spent time learning the basics of many other languages. I am a licensed hair stylist in addition to being a teacher and tutor. My goal is to be the director of a multiliteracy center, where I can use my creativity in conjunction with my knowledge of language pedagogy, as well as my experience with tutoring best practices.

In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my dog, working in the garden, reading, making music and crafting.
