"Hello,

I am a Spanish professor here in Northern Michigan. I have been a teacher for over 30 years and love helping people learn Spanish. I started my teaching career in the Dominican Republic where I taught English. It was so fun that I decided to pursue a career as a language teacher.

I have my bachelor's degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies from Michigan State University and a Master's in Spanish from Central Michigan University.

I have lived and studied in the Dominican Republic, Chile and Spain and have traveled to Costa Rica and Mexico many times. I also speak Spanish at home with my children who are all bilingual."
