I am a native Johnstonian who grew up in Selma.  I am proud to be a product of the JCPS.  I feel that I was very prepared for college and real life.  I got interested in learning Spanish when I was 18.  I went on a family exchange with my Mom and sister to Cali, Colombia.  Travel has opened up the world for me and now I want to travel everywhere, especially to the Spanish-speaking countries which I have already been to 7 of the 20.  I have lived in 4 states but have mostly taught Spanish in Florida. I graduated from Peace College and Barton College (Atlantic Christian College).  I spent a year of study at the University of Seville in Spain, also.
