I cemented my fluidity in Spanish by studying abroad in Cadiz, Spain and taking a wide variety of linguistics courses at the Universidad de Cadiz. I have been a bilingual teacher in Arlington ISD for the past three years and have been tutoring in various capacities since 2007, having tutored college students in all levels of Spanish and German, volunteered to teach Spanish-speaking migrant workers English, and tutored international students at my college's ESOL Center during my college experience. After graduating, I performed one-on-one, in-home tutoring for students in grades K-12 in Math and English Language Arts. I also worked as a tour guide in New York City for three years, teaching tourists from all around the world about the city's unique history, architecture and culture. I currently work as a bilingual sixth grade teacher, teaching English Language Arts and Social Studies. All of these experiences have definitely made my passion for working in education grow, and have shown me that I have an aptitude for helping people of all ages to understand the concepts that they need to reach their goals and improve their quality of life. I love what I do and hope to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I have accumulated to help my clients fulfill their dreams. In my spare time, I love to travel to new places and to learn more and more about other languages and cultures.
