I help adults and travelers think in Spanish (not translate) through a personalized and culturally adaptive method.”

I started studying Spanish in high school and continued through graduate school, earning my master’s degree in Spanish language and literature. I studied abroad in Granada, Spain for a year in college, igniting my passion for travel and cultural immersion. I taught high school Spanish for 10 years in NYC and spent summer vacations engrossing myself in Latin American culture in Panama, Mexico, and Costa Rica. I spent 2016 to 2017 teaching English as a Second Language in Santiago, Chile, and spent 2018-2020 cycle touring and volunteering in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. In 2018, I left the NYC Department of Education in order to pursue my passion as a digital nomad, which would allow me to continue traveling through Central and South America. I am a passionate and hardworking Spanish teacher and have a great deal of experience translating, transcribing, and developing curriculum. When I returned from extensive travel in South America due to the pandemic, I started tutoring one-on-one Spanish lessons virtually, which enabled me to hone my individualized instruction and online teaching skills. I also began my career as a full-time curriculum writer, and now have over 3 years of experience designing engaging online courses that are aligned to state standards.
