Experience
I am currently a middle and high school Spanish teacher at a school in Adams County. Prior to moving to Colorado, I taught for 6 years in Wake County Public School System, the largest school district in North Carolina. At my high school in North Carolina, I served as the World Language Department chair and a co-advisor of National Spanish Honor Society. I currently teach middle school Spanish through AP Spanish, and in addition to strengthening vocabulary and grammar skills, I have a great understanding of Spanish as well as Latin American literature. I developed a love for teaching and working with students while volunteering as an English tutor to elementary students and a conversation partner for college students while I studied abroad in Santander, Spain for a semester during my junior year of college. I had loved Spanish since I began taking classes in high school (levels 1- AP), but studying abroad allowed me hone my skills as a speaker and further understand the culture of Spain as well as Hispanic culture in general. I also am qualified to work with adult learners. As a graduate teaching assistant, I co-taught an intermediate Spanish course at UNC Wilmington. I also was the sole instructor for an introductory Spanish course the following semester. I worked as a session leader in the Spanish Conversation Center at UNC Wilmington as well, were I led 30 minute meetings in small groups (1-5 students) of Spanish-only speaking practice reinforcing grammatical concepts and vocabulary covered in class as well as allowing the students apply the language to their own lives and discuss topics that were important to them.
