Bio
I began teaching at Dakota in 2006 and have taught all levels: Spanish 1 - 5 including regular, honors, IB and AP. This year, for the first time, I am teaching part-time, with just 3 classes on Cardinal Days. Prior to DRHS, I taught Spanish in Texas and Delaware, English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual in Illinois, and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Puebla, Mexico. I also worked for a year as a bilingual paralegal assistant in downtown Chicago.
Although I love language, I care more about my students than Spanish! Learning languages is all about creating and enhancing connections relationships with new people and concepts!
