About
I am currently a graduate student at the University of Iowa, working on my Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Language and ESL. I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Kentucky in 2013 with a degree in Spanish. My favorite experience as an undergraduate student was studying abroad and I was lucky enough to study abroad twice, once in Granada, Spain and once in Arezzo, Italy. My favorite part of studying a new language is getting introduced to a new culture and I hope to share that passion for culture with my future students.
