I am a National Board Certified Teacher in World Languages Other than
English and received my BA in Spanish from North Georgia College and
University which is located in the foothills of the mountains in the town of
Dahlonega, Georgia. In order to receive my degree, it was necessary for me
to go to Guadalajara, Mexico to attend courses during the summer! What a
wonderful experience to have had the opportunity to live there! I only wish
it could have been for a longer time.
For the past 13 years I have been teaching in Wake County (and one year in
Georgia)and I've enjoyed them all! In addition to teaching, I have had the
pleasure of bringing students abroad to Europe. In 1999, we went to Spain
for Easter and had the most memorable experience seeing the Pasos on Good
Friday in Córdoba! In the summer of 2000, we ventured to Italy and had such
a good time, I believe mostof us will go back! And in June of 2001, we went
to 3 countries!! England, France, and Spain!! Of all the rewards of
learning a foreign language, traveling is my personal favorite!
In addition, in January of 2001, I had the great fortune to be able to
travel to Sydney, Australia! It was very exciting to be "down under"
and I had hoped to connect with a high school while I was there.
(However January is a part of their summer vacation!) If you'd like
to check out a site of a typical school in Sydney, click on Australia!
The mission for the class is to communicate in Spanish. This is done
by reading, writing, listening, and above all, speaking in Spanish!
My hope is that all students walk out of my classroom having the
confidence to speak to a native speaker... no matter at which level
they may be!
