About Me

I am positive and passionate. Everyday I strive to be a better person than I was the day before, doing everything from a desire to make the world a better place and to positively impact my environment. I am grateful, I celebrate life, and I practice transparency and candor. My words are congruent with my actions. My objective is to help others achieve their greatest potential. I earned my M.A. and Ph.D. from UT-Austin in Spanish Linguistics. I've taught beginning through graduate courses at the university level and in secondary schools I've taught Spanish 1-4 and AP Spanish Language and Culture. Along with teaching the courses, I've given extra help or tutoring during office hours and by appointment. I love to travel! I've lived in Costa Rica and visited many parts of Mexico, Spain and Puerto Rico. I love to hike and camp, walk on the beach, read, knit and bead. I especially love dance-able music (salsa, merengue, cumbia, charanga, etc.) and love to dance. I practice yoga and Qigong. Life is good! No matter what your objective for learning Spanish, I promise to help you obtain your goal.
