I completed four years of undergraduate study at the University of Georgia, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Latin American and Caribbean studies. That fall, after graduating in 2010, I moved to Spain where I began working in a public high school, teaching various subjects in English to Spanish students whose ages ranged from 12-18. After two years, I started teaching adults at a private academy in a nearby city in southern Spain, preparing them for official English exams from Cambridge and Trinity and tutoring private clients. In 2014 I got my Master's in Applied Linguistics from NYU. Currently, in the middle of this pandemic, I am teaching English to young Chinese students virtually. In my ten years of experience helping struggling students whose profiles vary greatly, I am a firm supporter of continuing education. It is absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I love sharing my passion for learning with my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baseball and other sports, yoga, running, listening to music and crocheting.
