I have a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineer from "Universidad Militar Nueva Granada" in Colombia, and now I am enrolled in High Point University in order to get my Spanish Teacher Certificate.
I am so happy to be here in the HHS with the students and to have the opportunity to share my culture and the importance to learn a second language not just to communicate with people but to know how to increase the cognitive abilities to be bilingual aswell.
