About The Teacher
It is a pleasure to introduce myself to you as your Spanish teacher this year! I am originally from Georgia and went to college at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. There, I graduated cum laude with a double major in Spanish and Political Science. From there, I went to the University of Georgia in Athens, home of the Bulldogs, and completed my master's degree in Language Education. I taught middle school for one year in Athens and then moved to New Jersey in 2001. I have been at Hammarkskjold since that time and love it here. Middle Schoolers are my favorite age group to teach and I am looking forward to teaching you this year!

Mission Label:


Mission
It is my goal to help you use the target language in a meaningful way. What I mean by that is that learning the language is more than memorizing vocabulary lists and numbers. It is most important that you can effectively communicate in Spanish in basic survival situations as well as everyday social situations.
