¡Hola! I am looking forward to a wonderful year! I have been in language education for fifteen years, including experience as coordinator for the state's first dual language immersion program! I am experienced in K-12 education, curriculum development, teacher education/professional development, corporate training and marketing, as well as designing online courses. My professional and research interests involve applied linguistics, and the use of eLearning and mLearning for language learning.
On a more personal note, I love spending time with my husband, our two beautiful daughters, and our dog. I enjoy reading, running, cycling, gardening, photography, making and designing wedding cakes, sewing, crocheting, and, of course, studying languages (I'm currently working on French :-). I also love to travel and have been to 40 states and 5 countries outside of the U.S, including missionary work in Honduras.
I hope you learn to enjoy language learning as much as I do. It opens so many doors, as well as your mind. I also want you to know that I am not a native speaker --- so yes, it can be done. You, too, can learn to speak another language!!!
