    Jennifer studied abroad for the first time in 1990 in Barcelona, Spain. In 2017, she studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador.  Her love of Spanish and her own amazing study abroad experiences, spurred her into offering an opportunity for students to study Spanish abroad.  In July of 2018, she took her first group of 10 Spanish students to study in Salamanca, Spain, where they participated in a two week immersive study abroad program which earned them 3 college credits for conversational Spanish. They lived with host families and had a true immersion experience.  In June of 2023, she took a group of 21 to also study abroad in Salamanca, Spain in the same type of immersion experience where they lived with host families and also earned college credits from the prestigious University of Salamanca. This past summer, she took a group of 20 to Spain where they also studied at the University of Salamanca and took excursions to Madrid, Valladolid, Toledo, and Valencia. This year they visited la catedral de Valencia where the "Holy Grail " is housed.

    She is passionate about Spanish, loves traveling and experiencing other cultures. She dreams of one day serving on a mission trip to a Latin American country. She is excited to share her love and enthusiasm of Spanish with her students.
