I am a native of Dallas and grew up in a family that loved to travel. As a child, I spent my summers in Mexico and found the Spanish language and Mexican culture to be fascinating.  I graduated from Rice University with a BA in Spanish and French, but still managed to work in some time studying abroad in Seville, Spain. I went on to earn an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, and specialized in bilingual/bicultural advertising.

Currently, I live in a very tiny house that allows me to shut the door and spend the summers in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have many old friends there and never run out of things to explore.

I love language and the way it allows people and cultures to connect. It's constantly evolving, and that's what makes it so exciting. I'm thrilled to be able to share some of my knowledge and experience with my students, and have taught Spanish 1 and Spanish 2/2Honors at Shepton since 2016.
