I graduated from the University of Mary Hardin Baylor with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and Psychology. I obtained a Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics with a focus on Cultural Diversity and TESOL certification (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages) at Texas AandM University. I have been teaching for over 19 years with the last 6 years being an online instructor. I love to travel and have been a translator for medical and dental groups traveling to Mexico and Honduras. I have also traveled to Ireland, Scotland, Greece, France, Spain, and Italy. I am currently learning a third langauge - Italian! I truly believe learning about other people and cultures enriches our lives and helps us to become more compassionate.
