My
story

Starts in Spain

At 27, I moved to Spain, with no Spanish language skills, no teaching experience, and knowing nobody in the country. This was the beginning of an incredible chapter in my life.  I started learning a new language from zero, and teaching English with no real knowledge initially, and this slowly became my entire life.

My Journey to Learning and Teaching Mastery

My Spanish language abilities and teaching skills both grew, and year after year continued.  I loved my new life in Spain, and the feeling of learning a new language and living in a new culture, and I grew to really love learning how to teach.  I eventually reached a very high level in Spanish, and recieved a diploma from the Oficial Language School of Spain, with a C1 level.  I also became deeply interested in language learning and teaching, which grew even more in my Masters in Bilingual Education from La Universidad de Alcalá de Henares.

Facing the Future

Returning to the United States after more than six years in Spain, I brought back knowledge and experience in learning and teaching language, as well as living in a different culture and country. 

This foundation helped me quickly move from adjunct ESL instructor, to full-time, to also then starting the only GED class in Spanish at my institution. 

Eventually I became the highest-rated professor at the highest-ranking Organization in the Southeast United States.

In 2024, I was named Regional Teacher of the Year for the state.  

The next step is here.

I'm ready to share my experience and passion with learners worldwide.
