I graduated from Austin Peay State University with a Bachelors of Art in Foreign Languages with the double minor in International Relations and Fine Art and in 2008 with a Masters of Arts in Teaching with a specialization in Spanish with a 4.0 GPA. I have 10 years of classroom experience ranging from grades one through eight Spanish, high school Spanish levels one through five honors, college and English as a second language to immigrants and refugees. I have worked as a medical interpreter for the state of Tennessee, a literacy coach and tutor. I grew up in Central America and am fluent in Spanish. I have studied abroad in Cuernavaca Mexico and Madrid Spain and had travel to over 40 countries. I have a passion for teaching in a manner that is relevant, meaningful and memorable.
