I have taught Spanish language and Hispanic literature and culture classes to a wide variety of levels and ages. I enjoy helping students express themselves, make new connections, understand cultural phenomena, and engage in cross-cultural experiences. I have also taught English as a Second Language to native Spanish speakers.
My teaching is based on inclusive pedagogical methods that foster dialogue and encourage curiosity. I have organized and contributed to faculty development workshops based on these principles.
