¡Hola! Bienvenidos a mi página de web. Hi! Welcome to my website. I am the Spanish teacher here at Illini Bluffs High School. I love to travel, and have studied in Costa Rica for a month and in Mexico for a semester during my undergrad program at Bradley. I have also been to Guatemala, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, England, Spain, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. I am a 2005 graduate of Bradley University, and just finished my masters degree through the University of Northern Iowa in April. Through this program I have traveled to Mexico for 3 summers to take classes. It has been wonderful living in Mexico for 7 weeks at a time, taking classes, and speaking only Spanish. I love the Spanish language and the culture of Spanish speaking countries, and I cannot wait to share it with my students!
Outside of school, I love spending time with my family. My husband and I recently celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary, and we have a beautiful 5 year old named Lilyana. We love to travel, swim, play games, and shop (mostly me). My husband doesn't speak Spanish, but listens and learns while I am speaking with and teaching it to Lilyana. Hopefully one day soon we will be a complete Spanish speaking family!
