About
I speak fluent Spanish and English. I spent a year abroad in Spain during my junior year in college. Before that, I studied in both high school and college studying advanced Spanish. I am able to converse with any dialect in Spanish, no matter where the person comes from.
I want to help people learn Spanish and be able to converse with one another effectively & confidently. I enjoy helping learn Spanish, and be able to get comfortable speaking at Level I (travel purposes), and Level II (social situations); and lastly, Level III (job opportunities).
