¡BIENVENidOS!

¡Hola!  Hello, and welcome to my Sandy Valley Spanish Classes pages!  I'm so glad you've stopped by.  Please click on the tabs above for your specific class information, including useful links for practice enrichment.  Please also access Google Classroom for additional resources and information, including announcements regarding quiz, test, project, and other important dates.

I am so happy to be part of the Sandy Valley family!  While this is my sixth year at SV, this is my 30th year teaching Spanish; in addition to teaching high school Spanish, I have also taught at the University of Akron (where I earned my Master of Arts in Spanish) and, most recently, at the University of Mount Union (where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish - GO PURPLE RAIDERS!!).

My husband and I have two children and a Cavachon puppy names Archy.  When we're not traveling within the United States or all over the globe (49 US states, 21 countries, 5 continents, and 3 oceans thus far!), we enjoy spending time together as often as possible.

I'm looking forward to our working together to make this a great year!
