Honors Spanish Language & Culture Spanish Language & Culture
Hometown: Greensboro, NC

          I am a returning program with CIEE.  I teach within a large HS with Greensboro, NC.  I have been in education for over 24 years.   I currently teach Honors Spanish 4 and Spanish 2.  I love working with this summer language and culture program.  It brings students from all around the US to the amazing city of Madrid where together we grow, not only in our language skill, but as individuals as well.  Get your list of things to do, see and experience ready as the month will go by quickly.  I am happy to be returning to Madrid this summer.
