I am excited to be back at Valley Springs to teach Spanish to our students. It is vital that we increase our worldview understanding and appreciation for other cultures. Developing a sense of community in the classroom opens the door to a new world.

• I have had a role in education at Buncombe County Schools since 2016.  I have been at Valley Springs since 2019 and enjoy being part of the Rams family! 

Education:

• • Carson Newman University, BA in Spanish, Minor in Psychology 

  • Mars Hill University Adult and Graduate Studies Post-baccalaureate  K-12 Teaching License 

  • University of the Pacific -Bernerd College Graduate level semester units of credit coursework with the Comprehensible Classroom. 

• • I enjoy teaching Spanish because it allows students be exposed to new cultures and a new language that increases their awareness to the changing world around us. 

  • I use Google Classroom for students to access additional resources and assignments online.
