I began teaching in 2009. My husband´s career has had us moving to new states and even new countries every couple of years, but I've always been fortunate enough to find myself in a classroom full of students!
I believe that a foreign language classroom should be an environment where students can acquire a new language, rather than simply be taught the rules of one. I strive to create materials that are contextualized, meaningful, authentic, and engaging. My goal is to help create and facilitate an environment where Spanish can be acquired in an authentic, risk-free way that motivates and excites students. And now, after four years of living in Japan, I am working hard to share my love of Japanese culture with you, as well!
