HOLA! I grew up in a small farming town in upstate New York, where I met my first Spanish teacher, Senora Freer, and fell in love with the culture, people, language - everything! I really enjoyed the different culture and being able to speak another language!
In college, I was originally an English major, but something was lacking. My heart just wasn't into it, and I missed learning Spanish! In college I had the amazing experience of living, traveling, going to school and working in Ecuador. There I held an internship working with babies with malnutrition, alongside their families. I think about them every day! I also went to college at La universidad de espiritu santo en Guayaquil.

Recently, I had the experience of traveling to Korea to teach SAT preparation, and English language reading and writing skills to international students, and a 100 level classic literature course to middle school students.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my three nephews, going to the beach, shopping, cooking new things, photography, and sewing. I am also interested in learning another language in the near future!
