About the Teacher
Bachelor of Arts in Literature:
The University of Texas- Austin, TX
Master of Arts in Literature:
New York University- New York, NY
University of Oxford- Oxford, UK
I live in central Austin with my Husband and our precious french bulldogs. And though I'm a Texas native, I lived in several other cities and countries before settling in Austin. Various components of my education, both undergraduate and graduate, come from international universities such as The University of London and The University of Cordoba Spain. Literature & Language provide an endless pursuit of knowledge, thus active research and study of literature will continue to influence my instruction.
