About Me

I am a graduate of The University of Iowa with a BA degree in Spanish Language and Literature. A highlight in my college career was studying at The Fundacin y Gasset Estudios Internacionales in Toledo, Spain receiving certification of completion of the Spanish immersion program. During my time in Spain, I was also a nanny for a local family. I hold a California Clear Teaching Credential from USIU. My 15 year teaching career was spent at Francis Parker School where I taught many levels of middle school Spanish. I truly enjoyed seeing the progression of students language acquisition over the years. Leading student trips abroad as well was also a highlight. It was wonderful to see the students experience the language and culture in the native countries and use what they learned in the classroom, expanding their horizons. As a tutor, I strive to make students more comfortable in learning the concepts so they can therefore practice and improve their speaking skills. A few of my interests include cooking, travel, skiing and pilates. An upcoming goal for me is to become fluent in Italian.
