Education/Experience: I attended UW-Milwaukee and studied in both Argentina and Spain. I was a long-term substitute teacher (teaching Spanish) last year at Whitefish Bay.

Hobbies: I enjoy running and am excited about this year’s cross-country team!

Favorite place you've visited: My favorite place that I visited in 2007 as a student and then again last summer is Corrientes, Argentina. There is nothing like sitting on the bank of the river Paraná drinking mate (tea) in the afternoon!
