Bio:
I started studying Spanish in my freshman year of college to satisfy the foreign language requirement. The next year I studied abroad in Spain and I had no idea that that experience would lead me down the path to where I am today. For me, studying abroad was a game changer. During that time, I feel as though I learned how to learn and became fascinated with other cultures. I worked in Mexico for several summers as an administrator of an indigenous language documentation project. I also spent time in Spain learning the flamenco guitar and how to accompany the dancing and singing. I am very excited to be a part of Central Catholic High School.
