Spanish Teacher / FLES Teacher
Jenkintown School District
¡Bienvenidos!
Welcome to my webpage.
I am teaching Spanish 1, Spanish 2 and FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School) at Jenkintown. My teaching journey began in Madrid, Spain, where I was teaching English as a foreign language for two years. Then, I moved to Gwangju, South Korea and taught English there for another two years. I started teaching Spanish at Jenkintown in 2022, and have since moved into the classroom where I was once a Spanish student under Mr. Richard Detwiler! I graduated from Jenkintown in 2012, so it has been quite the experience to return and teach in my old Spanish room. I am even teaching several of my nephews!
Aside from my role as a language teacher, I am also the head coach of the Cross Country boys team. We had a wonderful season in the 25-26 school year and hope to continue to grow our numbers next year.
I graduated from West Chester University in 2016 after student teaching in Costa Rica. I am very grateful for my teachers in both Jenkintown and West Chester for encouraging me to travel and to educate all around the world. I hope to inspire the next generation to learn new languages, visit far-off places, experience different cultures, and grow as individuals.
