Teaching languages is one of my passions. I have been doing it for over 10 years. Currently I teach Spanish and ESOL in the Horry County Schools. My interest in languages and their cultures date back to my childhood when I used to accompany my grandmother to her clients' houses. Some were from Austria and others were from Germany. I loved listening to them, even if I did not understand a word of what they were saying. My eyes wondered around their belongings and pictures that hung on the walls. I was curious but I did not dare to say anything; I was too shy.

As soon as I graduated from high school I pursued my undergraduate career in Teaching English as a foreign Language. I took a number of subjects in the humanities that have been enlightening. I also had the opportunity to travel abroad as a foreign language student and meet people from different countries as well as teach my native language in the USA. I have always marveled at how a language shapes people's minds and behaviors.
