Where did you attend college? I started my general studies at Mesa Community College and then I graduated with my B.A. in Secondary Education, Spanish from Arizona State University.
What subject(s) do you teach and why? I teach Spanish. I took Spanish in middle school and participated in a mini foreign exchange program called “Hands Across the Border” where I went to Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico and stayed with another student’s family for 5 days. I grew to love the language and the culture so much that I continued studying Spanish and decided to become a Spanish teacher. I always look forward to passing on my knowledge and enthusiasm for the language and culture to all my students.
What do you enjoy doing outside of school? What do I not enjoy would be an easier question to answer. I enjoy watching movies, spending time with my 2 year old son, family, and friends. I like being outdoors, going on road trips, playing games, singing, dancing, and so much more.
