Here you will find links to the experiences that have made me the language educator I am today.
Traveling to several Spanish-speaking countries has given me the opportunity to experience various aspects of Hispanic culture and get to know many wonderful people. My Spanish language skills have also improved significantly because of these experiences. I have taken what I have gained from my travels and applied it to my classroom, with the hopes of helping my students in various ways.
I've included some photos from my travels over the years, as well as some of my students working collaboratively in my classroom. I traveled to Mexico in college and to Chile after college. As a teacher, I have traveled with students to Costa Rica and Peru.
I hope to continue traveling and learning in the future, both with and without students. There's a whole world out there and there is so much to gain from experiencing other cultures and perspectives.
