I lOVE teaching Spanish. I was born in North Dakota, raised in Minnesota, moved to and stayed in North Carolina. I graduated from Apex High School and I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill...¡Viva los tarheels! I received my teaching certification through NCTeach at North Carolina State University. I am married to a man from Honduras. I am also a mom to four children. When I am not teaching, I love to dance and sing around my house. My favorite artists are Juanes, Carlos Vives, Natalia Lafourcade, Shakira, Julieta Venegas, Gwen Stefani, George Strait, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. I like to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. My favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Diana Gabaldon, Paulina Simons, Lisa See, Maeve Binchy and Alexander McCall Smith. On the weekends I enjoy spending time with my family. We love our Friday Night Movie Night that includes pizza, soda (or pop!) and a new release or an oldie like Back to the Future, Three Amigos, Overboard or The Great Outdoors. I also like to crochet, embroider and sew...although I am not very good at any of these activities. Some of my other favorites are COFFEE (cream, no sugar), almost any kind of soup and dessert. I also love to cook and throw a party!
