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.
