I am foremost a lifelong learner. I have a degree in Spanish from Temple University, where I studied a broad survey of Spanish and Latin American literature, Spanish orthography and grammar as well as formal Academic writing. I recently returned from Chile in South America where I was teaching English in a public middle school. While there I was responsible for creating and implementing a speaking and listening curriculum.

I have also done some work in Interpretation and Translation and am currently pursuing more work as an interpreter. I am a big fan of travel, multiculturalism, yoga, reading and the Spanish language! I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for language with others and helping people view the world through the lens of a different language and culture. I consider myself especially well-suited to helping to teach speaking and reading comprehension.
