Queridos estudiantes y familias,
I teach 6th and 7th grade Exploratory Spanish and 8th Grade Spanish 1 for high school credit at East Cobb Middle School in Marietta, GA. Georgia Tech is my alma mater (B.S. Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies - Spanish; B.S. Literature, Media, and Communications) and allowed me to sharpen my language skills through extensive studies abroad in Mexico, Spain, and Peru. I have since had several opportunities to travel and continue expanding my language and cultural awareness in Latin America.
My personal teaching style combines teacher modeling with student-centered learning through interactive games and peer collaboration. From "speed dating" and basketball jeopardy to charades and Pictionary, my students engage in active learning on a daily basis. My goal is to promote a positive classroom environment where students can make personal connections to the language and create their own learning experiences. I like to keep them guessing!
Outside the classroom, I like traveling, photography, playing the piano, and sports. :)
