About
I began my freelance business in 2014 and have taught Spanish for Professionals as well as bilingual ESOL and U.S. Citizenship classes. I serve extensively as a Spanish-English interpreter in medical, mental health, and immigration settings, and my written translation work spans coast to coast. I hold an MBA from Southern Methodist University in Dallas and undergraduate degrees in International Business, Spanish, Russian, and Economics. My intrigue with the Spanish-speaking world has taken me on several unique and eye-opening adventures. I teach my students that learning another language helps you to explore the world in more depth and opens the door to new relationships, experiences, and opportunities. I encourage my students to immerse themselves in the new language and culture daily, set apprehension aside, and begin speaking from day one.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
For each new student, I always make a thorough assessment of his or her needs: Why do you want to learn Spanish? What do you hope to get out of this course or session? What is your current level of Spanish? Have you taken Spanish before? Do you want to focus on conversation? Grammar? Reading? Listening? I personalize my teaching to meet their goals, and make periodic checks during the teaching to ensure those goals are being met.
