Bio

I fell in love with Spanish during my very first high school class, captivated by the language's beauty and the vibrant cultures of Spanish-speaking communities.

​

As a native English speaker who achieved fluency in Spanish, I bring both personal experience and extensive qualifications to my teaching. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, a California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Spanish, and a CLAD (Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development) Certificate. My training in Kagan Cooperative Learning informs my interactive approach to student engagement and language acquisition.

​

My connection to Spanish extends beyond the classroom. I lived in Mexico for two years and use Spanish daily with family, friends, and students. My husband and I have successfully raised two bilingual children, demonstrating my commitment to language immersion as a lifestyle.

​

With over 20 years of experience teaching Spanish and ESL (English as a Second Language) across multiple educational settings—including adult education, high school, and elementary levels—I've helped learners from diverse language backgrounds achieve their communication goals. For 19 years, I taught at an Adult School in Silicon Valley, CA, working with both community members and in-custody students at a Correctional Facility.

​

In spring 2020, I launched Road to Languages, embracing online instruction as a fun, fruitful, and effective teaching medium.

​

Language learning is more than my profession—it's my passion. I'm dedicated to sharing the joy of languages and cultural understanding with every student I teach.
