"After receiving my bachelor's degree (B.A.) from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in French and Spanish, I went on to pursue a master's degree in Hispanic Studies (M.Hs) at Auburn University, a master's degree in education (M.Ed.) with a concentration in English/Language Arts, and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree with an emphasis in high school curriculum and instruction. Since then I have become National Board Certified in language arts.

In my 30 years as an educator, I have taught French, Spanish, English, and English as a Second Language in middle, high school, and university settings.
