I have been teaching for over 20 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Spanish and ESL from the University of Northern Iowa and a Master's degree in Spanish from UNO. I studied one semester in Arica, Chile and lived in Peru for 3 years. While my passion is teaching Spanish, I also enjoy teaching reading, writing and ESL. I enjoy helping students strategize and find efficient ways to learn. I also thrive in helping students believe in themselves and achieve success.
