I am a Spanish speaker who has studied Spanish since I was a child mostly in school. I hold a Professional Michigan Teaching Certificate in Foreign Language, Spanish, grades 6-12, a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching and will have earned a MA in Spanish by Fall of 2015. My professional desire is to teach community college and university level Spanish classes.
