Communicator / Educator / Producer / Performer
Hi! I’m Esteban, a teacher, writer, content producer, video producer, social media expert, and stand-up comedian who loves language, learning, and human connection. I am passionate about the ways knowledge, technology, and collaborative communication intersect, and the role storytelling plays when trying to understand the world and our role in it.
As the Spanish Content Lead and Content Producer at Babbel I have transformed our learning content curriculum into viral videos, in-app podcasts, website articles, and live classes. I’ve spearheaded the creation of new social media channels, significantly grown our accounts, created graphic designs, developed learning curriculum, led instructor workshops, and established marketing and PR communication with media outlets such as NPR, The New York Times, Huffington Post, and many others, while serving as a Babbel spokesperson and contributing to media pitches and communications.
As a teacher and educator I served as the Chair of the World Languages Department at Madison College, where I developed curriculum for classes, led instructional programming, provided faculty and student support, and served as an advisor. In Babbel I have used my teaching background to create educational content, develop multi-media learning tools, serve as a Spanish live instructor, offer live-streaming classes, and provide teaching workshops for other instructors.
As a radio contributor and writer, I have written several articles for Babbel Magazine, produced media for Love Wisconsin, and contributed regularly to Wisconsin Public Radio. One of my radio pieces was adapted into an animated short for PBS, and I was honored with a Midwest Broadcast Journalists Association Sevareid Award.
