I have been teaching Spanish since 1994. I began teaching Spanish at the University of Colorado in Boulder while obtaining my masters in 20th Century Latin American and Spanish Literature. I started teaching Spanish at Palmer in 2009. I enjoy teaching students using comprehensible-input methods, including TPR (Total Physical Response), TPRS (Teaching Proficience through Reading and Storytelling), songs, and games.  In my free time I enjoy cycling, gardening, and traveling.
