I lived in Chile during my 20s, and gained a great love for Hispanic people, language, and culture. Upon returning to the states, I completed college and have worked to further my knowledge of Spanish. I have always enjoyed working in ESL and bilingual programs, which I did for many years. I am currently working as an Early Learning Professional Development Advanced Trainer.
