CURRENT MISSION

Speak Spanish well and be a fantastic teacher

ABOUT ME

I love Spanish language and hispanic culture. I want to travel and see history. I appreciate the world as it is and people for who they are. I'm open to new ideas and cultures and can't wait to see more of the world. My family never travels outside of the Midwest, and now that I'm on my own, I plan to travel as much as possible. New ideas scare me much less than old ones. I love change and I adapt quickly. I believe in personal liberties and self expression.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happiest and treat the world like a library book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through Frida Kahlo's house and touching the railings, and knowing its what that woman touched. Seeing her casts and understanding a very small piece of her pain.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are studying another language, my teaching advice is to listen to music and analyze the grammar and meaning. Memorizing one chorus can save you so much pain when learning subjunctive, ect.
