Bio
¡Hóla! I teach Spanish to ALL of the students at Providence Elementary School, from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th Grade. (That's among the reasons why the first lesson is on ¿Como te llamas? (What's your name?) and Me llamo es ______ (My name is -- literally, "I call myself," _____________).
I love it here at Providence!
I have loved learning about languages in general and studying Spanish in particular since I was a kid. Because of my father's work, I got to live in Peru for one summer and also in Nicaragua another summer. My career has been spent about half between being a reporter, especially at The Huntsville Times, and in the classroom -- at every level from 1st Grade to College. Both of these jobs -- journalism and teaching -- have allowed me to be a lifetime learner about new people and new ways of thinking and communicating.
At home, my husband and I live in a little house in the woods with a dog, two cats, and lots of wild deer, turkeys, and honey bees outside (we're beekeepers, too). My two sons are grown and married -- and both love languages, too.
I look forward to continuing my learning here at this Escuela Bachillerata Internacional!
