I am a Spanish teacher and one of the department chairs of LOTE. This is my twelfth year at Clark and my 22nd year of teaching in various parts of the country. I am a graduate of Valparaiso University in Northwest Indiana. I am married and have three children, including three Plano Senior HS graduates. I love to travel anywhere I can, and I am looking forward to going somewhere as soon as it is safe to do so! I am also an avid fan of the Mets, and mercifully, this was a short season.

During my time at Clark, I have taught various levels of Spanish, and currently teach Spanish 1, 2, and 3 Honors. Our main goal for language learners in Plano is that they can communicate in the target language, and I love watching my students become more proficient in their speaking and writing in practical and real-life situations.
