Biography:

I have been teaching Spanish for seven years.  I have previously taught Spanish to grades prek-8th, high school, and adults, ranging from beginning to advanced level Spanish. I also have traveled and studied abroad extensively in Europe and Latin America. I love teaching and sharing my passion for dance, and the Spanish culture with my students! My vision for the students is not only to understand the importance of embracing a multicultural perspective in every aspect of their education, but to apply it as they become successful leaders of this world.
