About Me

I have nearly a decade of experience in bilingual schools in Texas and Spain and a Master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language.

I have fallen in love with Spain since my first trip as a study abroad student in 2006. Since then I’ve moved back several times, met my husband, had our first child, and learned enough Spanish to finally consider myself bilingual.

I currently live outside Madrid with my husband, our daughter, and our dog.
