I am a  2006 graduate of Mount Vernon Nazarene University with a B.A. in Spanish.  As part of my degree, I had the opportunity to spend a semester studying abroad in Costa Rica.  When I returned to the U.S. after my semester abroad, I finished my degree and moved back down there for about a year.

 

After working in business for a while, I obtained my teaching license in 2011 to teach K-12 in the state of Ohio.  I love teaching.  It is my goal to inspire students to truly learn a second language, not simply memorize words and verb conjugations.  In my class, I encourage students to ask questions, work hard, and have fun!
