More than half of my life has been dedicated to learning and mastering the Spanish language. My love for the language and culture begun at the young age of 14 on a school mission trip to Mexico. As a young adult, I lived in Mexico for 3 years. Part of my experience in Mexico included teaching English at a local elementary school during the day and a local university in the evenings. Since returning to Virginia, I have had the continued privilege of tutoring Spanish to all ages. I have extensive experience in translating - both orally and written. My husband (native Spanish-speaker) and I are also successfully raising three bilingual children! My passion for the Spanish language helps to create a fun learning environment. I love helping others realize that anyone can learn another language with the right help and attitude! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my crazy and busy family - playing games, watching movies, going to their soccer and basketball games, etc. When I have time to myself, I enjoy reading, writing, going to the gym and a good movie.
