About me

I am so excited to see everyone even if it's only going to be on Google Meets for a while! I love languages and have been teaching Spanish and French at RCHS for almost 20 years! Having studied Spanish in Spain at the Universidad de Deusto and also in Costa Rica, I am passionate about travel and cultural awareness.

Here is the King of Spain, Rey Felipe VI, waving at me (and others in my cohort) while I was studying at the Universidad de Deusto!
