Personal Overview

Professor Caza is an accomplished ESL and writing instructor dedicated to empowering international students at Florida Tech and adult learners in online classes. With over three decades of experience in second language acquisition, she holds a Master of Arts degree in English with a specialization in TESOL.

Driven by a profound fascination with the increasingly interconnected world we inhabit, Professor Caza recognizes the vital importance of integrating global perspectives, diversity, and intercultural communication into the learning process. She firmly believes in striking a harmonious balance between students' overall educational experience and the curriculum. Embracing the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEI&B), she is deeply committed to fostering an environment that nurtures these values in her classroom. In her view, higher educational institutions, especially universities, should actively cultivate a community that embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, while staunchly opposing discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or religious beliefs. Her aim is to create a welcoming atmosphere where students feel at ease and well-prepared for their personal and professional journeys.

During her leisure time, Professor Caza indulges in her passion for running and ranks among the top competitors in her field. You can often find her pounding the pavement along the picturesque Melbourne Causeway or enjoying the serenity of the beach, accompanied by her beloved Dalmatian companion, Olive. In addition to her athletic pursuits, she revels in the joy of training, exploring new destinations, and immersing herself in different cultures through travel.
