Bio

My journey with Spanish began in Junior High. It started out as a requirement for school but then transformed into a life-long love. When I got to college I was originally planning on studying Theatre and Business (the most practical of the two). However, after taking a Spanish class in my first quarter, I completely changed my mind and decided to study Spanish and Theatre. From there, I was able to take advantage of studying abroad in Spain and teaching faculty and staff through an Employee Language Program. In the Employee Language Program, I facilitated group-workshops where participants were matched to their level of Spanish as well as worked one-on-one with participants in a flexible individualized class. I carried this knowledge forward into creating my own business after graduating college. I am currently living in Mexico City, Mexico in order to continue to further my Spanish and to enjoy the culture.
