Mi nombre es Alejandra Gutierrez and I'm from Venezuela. I have a PhD in Contemporary Hispanic literature (University of Virginia), and I've been teaching Spanish for 18 years. During my teaching career I've taught not only all levels of Spanish language, but also literature, translation, theater, culture and more. Spanish language and Hispanic literature are my passion. I love words and I enjoy sharing my language and my culture with other people. All the things that I've studied and do come from that fascination: I'm a journalist, a translator, aprofessor, a writer, and a theater person.
