Experience

My teaching career started at the college level. I taught Biology at San Marcos University and ESL at Austin Peay State University. I taught ESL/GED Adult Education in HCC. I am a certified Foreign Language French-Spanish and ESL teacher for grades K-12. I have been teaching high school French and Spanish in the Christian County Public Schools District for over 15 years and for a private school for 4 years. It is exciting to be back in the public school system and to be part of this amazing high school and ESL program.



Bio

I am originally from Lima, Peru. I moved to the United States to continue my education. I became enamored with the science of second language acquisition and continued my training in linguistics here in the United States. I enjoy reading, painting oriental watercolor, writing poetry, traveling and learning new languages. This year I am learning Japanese. My wonderful husband Tim and I have two children. We live in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
