Biography
This is my 14th year teaching Spanish at Grove Jr. High. I grew up in the community and am a graduate of District 59 schools. When I am not at school, I am spending time with my family and friends. I have two children, my four year old son Will and my two year old daughter Caroline. During my junior year of college, I spent a semester studying and improving my Spanish proficiency at CEGRI University in Granada, Spain. I hope all my students will take advantage of a study abroad opportunity in the future. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I am very passionate about the Spanish language and culture and my goal is to share that with my students.
