I am a high school Spanish teacher home-grown in Neillsville, Wisconsin. I attended university at UW-Stevens Point and then graduated from UW-La Crosse with a BS in Foreign Language Education. I started teaching Spanish in the fall of 2011. In 2015, I was thrilled to be hired back in my home town, Neillsville, to teach Spanish at the high school level. My love for teaching and language runs deep, and most of my free time activities reflect that. I love to travel and look forward to continued opportunities to take my kids traveling with me. I enjoy a good nerdy board game, cooking, and reading in the quiet moments when I'm not building Lego castles with my two boys.
