About
Two weeks into my first Spanish class in seventh grade, I knew my future was to be a Spanish teacher. Decades later and I haven't changed my mind! After spending nearly 10 years in public education as a high school Spanish teacher and program coordinator, I have taken the step into the role consultant, trainer, and collaborator to help support the teachers I wanted to be when I grew up. I am thrilled to be able to help the group of teachers who inspired me to follow my dreams!
