Classes:
I am highly qualified to teach Spanish at all K-12 levels, Bilingual Education at all K-12 levels, and Reading in the Elementary Grades. I am currently teaching Cultures of the Spanish-Speaking World at Richmond Middle School, Spanish 1 at Richmond Middle School and Richmond High School, and Spanish 2 at Richmond High School.
Education Experience:
Bachelors of Science (Cum Laude)
Central Michigan University and the Centro de Estudios Inter-Culturales in Sevilla, Spain
Elementary Education and K-12 Spanish Education
Major: Spanish Education K-12
Minors: Bilingual Bicultural Education and Reading in the Elementary Grades
Professional Teaching Certificate
I started teaching in the Richmond Community School District in 2010.
Why did I decide to teach Spanish?
Spanish is one of my greatest passions - fueled by my many years of Spanish language study and through my experiences living abroad in both Oaxaca, Mexico and Sevilla, Spain. I love Spanish, Central American and South American culture and enjoy teaching the Spanish language and exposing students to various cultural elements helping them to think and act globally.
Outside of the Classroom:
In addition to my teaching duties I am also the Bilingual Coordinator for Richmond Community Schools, and am involved in Richmond High School's School Improvement Committee.
Outside of Richmond, I am involved in the MISD's Teacher Leader program with Aimee Dolland-Smallwood. Many teachers throughout Macomb County vie to be involved in this year-long professional series and the selection process is rigorous (it should come as no surprise that many of our Richmond teachers have been selected and graduated from this program!) - it is an honor to have been selected and I look forward to employing all the knowledge I gain from this program in my teaching and throughout my career.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, reading, traveling to see sights or family in the U.S. or to visit my 'other family' (my study abroad host family) in Sevilla, Spain. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and family, and hanging out with our cats Lorelai, Rory and Jess as well as our dogs Sookie (Black Lab/Whippet mix) and Babette (Golden Retriever) - have you figured out a theme with animal names? They're all named for characters from the show 'Gilmore Girls'.
