I am actually putting my Spanish degree to excellent use. After graduating from Skidmore in 1993, I moved to Guayaquil, Ecuador to teach at the American School. I then moved to Tucson, AZ where I was Teacher Coordinator of a bilingual Head Start Center. During that time I got a teaching certificate from the University of Phoenix. Four years ago I moved back to my home state of Maryland to create and implement a Spanish program for children in grades K-5 at a private school. I love teaching and working with young students.
I haven’t given up traveling yet. This summer The Park School (the progressive school where I work) is sending me to Guatemala for a month to live with a host family and continue my Spanish studies! I am a proud single mother of a seven year old boy, Kyle, and he is learning Spanish too.
