During my early years in Spain, my homeland, 我从没想过我会住在另一个国家. 在马萨诸塞州待了27年(其中26年在男女同校的寄宿学校任教), I had the opportunity to move to Virginia to follow my desire to teach at an all-girls school. 十年后，我仍在威尼斯彩票游戏教书. Life is full of surprises!

虽然我的爱好是法律，但教学是紧随其后的. 我从事教育工作将近四十年了. 在我在马萨诸塞州工作的男女混合寄宿学校, I taught all levels of Spanish, 包括AP西班牙语和AP西班牙文学. 我还开设了有关前哥伦布文明的课程, the Spanish Civil War, Spanish Art, 和亚伯拉罕宗教作为AP西班牙语课程的不同选择. 我对教学的热情也延伸到教育成人, which led me to run workshops and seminars for several years for the Massachusetts Foreign Language Association, 我最终在董事会任职. Furthermore, 我在一家律师事务所教了两年的西班牙语, combining my love for teaching and Law.

在威尼斯彩票游戏，我也有机会教各个层次的学生. I have also been advising a variety of student-led clubs: We the People (diversity and inclusion), 全球文化(国际意识), and Hand in Hand (LGBTQ+). I also have the privilege of being the advisor to the Chronic Illness and Disabilities affinity group. 除了参加各种教务委员会, 并成为全球研究专业的带头人, 我很荣幸担任排球教练, speed walking, and soccer. 如果你想知道，是的，我是bara的忠实粉丝.

Besides my work at Foxcroft, my life is fulfilled by my husband, John, and my son, Alex, who lives in the D.C. area with his wife, Christine. My big hobbies are reading, photography, gardening, cooking, and mystery movies or tv shows.
