Profession: Assistant Professor of Spanish, Dept. of Global Studies and World Languages, Winona State University
Education: Ph.D. Boston University, M.A. Middlebury College, B.A. Kalamazoo College
Interests: One of the favorite parts of my job is exposing my students to other cultures and watching their worldview expand. I’ve had the pleasure of traveling with students throughout Spain and Latin America and every experience is unique and as educational for me as it is for them. When I’m not teaching or traveling the globe, I enjoy cooking, yoga, reading, camping, knitting, and exploring life with my 2- year old son. My husband Juan and I are looking forward to our family expanding by one in August. You can find me around town at Winona’s new yarn store, Yarnology, or the Blue Heron Coffeehouse.
