About Me
Language Lover
Bio
I've been a teacher for 22 years and have always taught languages, whether for third graders or graduate students on the university level. Being bilingual (Spanish/English) serves to nurture this interest. Teaching all along the east coast in both the public and private sector has afforded me the privilege of a well-rounded perspective. I love and believe in my field and can't imagine every leaving it. I have been happily married for 17 years and I have two daughters, 11 and 15.
